Land fraud suspect on the run, wanted by DCI
Sleuths from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations are looking for a suspect identified as Abdirahman Mohammed Abdi.
Abdi is wanted for allegedly committing land fraud.
Investigators in a statement Friday said the suspect is being sought for forgery of title documents and obtaining registration of land by false pretences.
"He is wanted by detectives following a warrant of arrest issued against him by Senior Principal Magistrate's Court Milimani on September 21, 2020, in criminal case no. 121/190/2020,” DCI said.
The investigators told The Standard on phone that Abdi had in 2004 confronted Imbani Dispensary Project Society who had acquired the land in 1988, claiming ownership of the land allegedly bought from a political party in Kenya.
“He went further to evict the members of the society from the land causing the arrest of five of them for trespassing and forgery,” detectives said.
The five were later acquitted.
Authorities are appealing to members of the public to suffice any information that may lead to the suspect’s arrest, who they claim has been on the run.
