DCI ARREST KENYAN WOMAN MILDRED KACHE IN SH56 MILLION GOLD SCAM

Detectives from the DCI Nairobi Regional Headquarters have arrested a woman believed to be the mastermind behind an elaborate gold scam that defrauded an American citizen of USDT 431,380 (approximately USD 431,380).

The suspect, identified as Mildred Kache, also known as Sabreena Ayesha, was tracked down and cornered at Crystal Villas in Kilimani following an intensive forensic investigation.

According to investigative reports, the fraudulent scheme began with enticing promises and polished negotiations, during which the suspects convinced the foreign investor that they could supply 400 kilograms of gold bars. Lured by the seemingly profitable opportunity, the American national traveled to Nairobi to finalise the deal, unaware that he was walking into a carefully orchestrated trap.

Documents were drafted, negotiations were held, and after a fraudulent agreement was signed, the victim transferred millions of shillings into the suspects’ bank accounts, believing the gold shipment would be delivered as promised.

However, immediately after the funds were received, the alleged gold dealers disappeared. All calls went unanswered, and not a single gram of gold was ever delivered. Realising he had been defrauded, the victim reported the matter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

Detectives launched a manhunt together forensic leads that ultimately led them to the Kilimani residence where Kache was apprehended. Her alleged accomplice, Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, evaded capture after sensing the detectives were closing in. He abandoned a black Mercedes-Benz E50, registration number KCV 910C, which has since been seized and towed to the Nairobi Regional Headquarters yard, where it is being held as an exhibit in the ongoing investigations.

Mildred Kache is currently in police custody undergoing processing ahead of her arraignment. Meanwhile, detectives remain hot on the trail of the second suspect, who managed to escape arrest.
