Kenyan Police Arrest Three Nigerians For Alleged Cyber Fraud, Immigration Violations
Their arrest came after alert members of the public reported suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment.
The police in Kenya have arrested three Nigerian nationals accused of being in the country illegally and engaging in criminal activities, including cyber fraud.
The suspects — identified as Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwel — were apprehended on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at their hideout in Mwihoko village, Ngurubani town following a joint operation by police and immigration officers.
According to authorities, the well-coordinated multi-agency raid in Mwaliko Estate, Mwea town, uncovered a suspected cyber fraud ring operated by the trio.
Their arrest came after alert members of the public reported suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment.
During the raid, detectives recovered 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and several credit cards from different banks — all believed to be linked to an elaborate cyber fraud scheme.
The statement read, “A well-coordinated multi-agency raid in Mwaliko Estate within Mwea town has blown the lid off a suspected cyber fraud ring operated by three Nigerian nationals.
“The suspects Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwel were flushed out after alert members of the public raised an alarm over suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment.
“When detectives raided the premises, they found 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and a heap of credit cards from different banks, all pointing to a well-oiled fraud network.”
The statement added, “Investigations have since revealed that the trio, who claim to be “running an online business,” are in the country illegally, their entry passes long expired, with no valid work permits.
“The three are currently cooling their heels in custody as investigators dig deeper into their network, tracing possible links to cross-border cybercrime syndicates.”
