Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - Detectives from the DCI Nairobi Regional Office have taken into custody Abbas Bardu Omuyoma, aka Ishmael, a fraudster linked to a gold scam that defrauded a Canadian investor out of USD 280,000 (Ksh 36 Million).
Ishmael’s arrest comes on the heels of a formal complaint
made on September 1st, 2025.
Together with an accomplice who remains at large, Ishmael
orchestrated a sophisticated con, luring the unsuspecting investor with
promises of 550 kg of gold nuggets and bars purportedly sourced from the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
Believing he was entering into a legitimate business deal,
the investor transferred USD 280,000 via USDT, only to find himself
empty-handed; no gold ever materialised as promised.
Following the complaint, an intensive investigation was
launched.
Through forensic leads, detectives trailed Ishmael,
arresting him along Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi.
Currently in custody, Ishmael is undergoing processing
pending his arraignment.
Meanwhile, detectives are hot on the trail of his accomplice, who is still at large.
