DCI’s Serious Crimes Unit (SCU) is on the hunt for one Reynold Nelson Shikhule, a serial fraudster on the run after scamming millions from Kenyans.
The sleuths put out the word after dozens of Kenyans went viral for reporting his crimes on social media.
Reynold Nelson Shikhule is not new to corridors of justice.
The fugitive is said to be involved in criminal activities while he is out on bail.
“The 27-year-old who wears different hats to ensnare his targets, mostly poses as an established investor at an online Forex Trade platform and a serious car dealer with connections globally.” DCI said.
He is also alleged to have conned a Microsoft East Africa Systems employee Sh5M between August and October 2018, by falsely pretending to invest the money at an online forex trade.
The accused had thereafter disappeared in thin air, leaving behind scanty marks of his trace until June 2019 when SCU detectives nabbed and charged him before a Kiambu court for Obtaining Money by False Pretences.
He was released on a Sh. 1M bond alternatively giving a Sh.500,000 cash bail.
After several hearings, the suspect made an application to settle the matter outside the court by returning the victim’s money, but went ahead to issue two bad cheques to the victim in February 2020.
He absconded court in all the subsequent hearings, which saw a warrant of arrest issued against him by the Chief Magistrate Court Kiambu.
