Kenyan authorities have arrested three Nigerian nationals for allegedly operating a sophisticated cyber fraud network in Nairobi.
The suspects — identified as Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwel — were apprehended after residents raised concerns about suspicious movements and late-night activities at their rented apartment.
According to police reports, detectives raided the premises and uncovered 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and numerous credit cards from various banks, pointing to what investigators described as “a well-oiled fraud network.”
“The suspects were flushed out after alert members of the public raised an alarm over suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment,” a police source disclosed.
Authorities say the operation highlights the growing challenge of cross-border cybercrime in East Africa and commended the public for its vigilance. The three suspects remain in custody as investigations continue to trace the extent of their financial operations and possible links to international cybercrime rings.
The incident underscores the need for stronger digital surveillance and financial security systems, as cybercriminals increasingly exploit global connectivity for illicit gains.
