A man, Benson Wanjau, who defrauded of a Murangá family about Ksh3 million equivalent of N5.3 million, meant to airlift baby Fidelis Muthoni to Canada for specialist treatment has been arrested.
A volunteer, Ndugu Nyoro, confirmed through a Facebook post that contained the photos of the conman, that Wanjau is now in the police custody, and the CID will be taking him to court by Monday, August 24.
Wanjau used Fidelis’s unfortunate condition to solicit for funds, and after he received donations from well-wishers, he disappeared with all the money.
According to Kenya-post.com, the baby was expected to fly to Canada on Friday, August 21, for surgery, but the shameless man carted away all the money raised.
Speculations had it that the fraudster was hiding in Mexico, bearing the name Alejandro Wanjau after the poor baby’s parents reported the matter to the police.
Here are some other photos of the hideous man who many say can only compared to the devil himself.
