 Salma Osman Gureye, a suspect implicated in a fraudulent scheme amounting to Ksh.50.9 million (USD 394,209), was arraigned at the Makadara Law Courts and charged with Conspiracy to Defraud and Providing False Information to a Public Officer. 

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Gureye's scheme was unearthed by the #FichuaKwaDCI initiative after members of the public provided crucial leads leading to her arrest at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on April 30, 2026. 

Further, the suspect's accomplice, Abdinoor Sharmake Mohamed, was also taken into custody. 

"This case illustrates how, through #FichuaKwaDCI, ordinary citizens are becoming the eyes and ears of justice, empowering detectives to close in on suspects who believe they can evade detection," said DCI.

The DCI, however, urged the public to provide additional information on the whereabouts of two additional suspects, Muna Dahir Dalmar and Shamis Warsame Osma, who remain at large.
