Two Personation suspects; Brian Osoro Nyariki & Duke Sabungi Ongweso (both 22yrs) were early today arrested in Kisii by @DCI_Kenya Detectives following multiple cases of online fraud where many have fallen victims in the hope of being enlisted for stipends to cope with Covid-19. 
While personating a prominent lady in Kenya, the two opened four fake Facebook accounts with which they lured vulnerable members of the public to register with at least Ksh. 599 for consideration in a false ongoing issuance of Ksh. 30,000 stipend to cope with the pandemic.
Once the money is received, the duo- who use multiple pseudo accounts to post on the page as having benefitted from the aid- block their victims as they use several sim cards to receive the cash.
Several victims had been successfully defrauded prompting a manhunt for the two, in whose possession were recovered 53 Airtel and three Telecom simcards.
Appropriate charges to be preferred on the two including Publication of False Information C/Sec 23 of Computer Misuse and Cyber Crime Act & Obtaining Money by False pretence C/Sec 313 of the Penal Code.
