Detectives from the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit (BFIU) arrested a suspect accused of brazenly spending over Sh6.7 million that was mistakenly credited to his bank account.
The suspect, Dickson Yiaile Sitei, was apprehended on Saturday, October 24, 2026, along Lantana Road in the heart of Westlands, Nairobi.
It all unfolded on November 18, 2025, when a company was busy processing 74 electronic payments. Among these was a legitimate rent payment of Sh72,000 owed to Sitei for the company’s Suswa shop.
