A total of 44 Nigerians have been arrested between 2017 and 2018 in the Roysambu, Kasarani, Umoja and Mirema areas.

According to the police, the conmen would promise their victims that the goods or products would be sent through DHL and should be collected at airports.

Kenyans unaware of the scam would send money via M-Pesa and then would receive a second call to send more money for documentation and taxes.
