Law enforcement in Kenya has rounded up three men from Nigeria accused of running internet cons and staying in the country without proper papers. The trio, aged 27 to 38, got caught in Nairobi after a tip-off about fake money schemes.
The suspects, who called themselves Kingsley, Chibuzor, and Onyeka, had been in Kenya for over a year on expired visitor visas. They set up fake profiles on social media and dating sites, posing as rich Westerners to trick people into sending cash for gifts or trips that never happened.
Officers raided their hideout in the Kasarani area and seized laptops, phones, and fake IDs used in the plots. One victim from Europe lost thousands of dollars before spotting the scam. The men now face charges for fraud, breaking immigration rules, and using fake documents.
Kenyan bosses say this bust shows their drive to stop cross-border crimes, especially those hitting folks abroad. The Nigerians could get deported after any jail time.
