Allan Chesang and Jalang’o Linked to Sh1 Billion Fake Gold Scam

Zaheer Jhanda, Allan Chesang and Jalang’o Linked to Sh1 Billion Fake Gold Scam

A fake gold syndicate involving a senator, two members of parliament, a police officer and several other suspects has been exposed by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

The suspects are Trans Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang, Nyaribari Chache MP Zaheer Jhanda and Lang’ata MP Felix Odiwuor aka Jalango, all elected on UDA and ODM tickets respectively.

The trio is accused of being part of a network of scammers who have operatives posing as government officials from police, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and customs departments, complete with fake documentation.

This intricate web of deceit began to unravel when a Tunisian national found himself on the brink of losing a staggering Sh1 billion in a fake gold transaction.

Unbeknownst to him, this elaborate con game was orchestrated by the aforementioned trio, who possessed insider information regarding the source and authenticity of the counterfeit gold.

At the epicenter of this unfolding saga is a house owned by a businessman within the famous Garden Estate, situated along the Thika Highway just near Roasters.

It was within these walls that fake gold and counterfeit dollar notes, crucial tools in their fraudulent endeavors, were discovered by the DCI under the watchful eye of their boss, Amin Mohammed.

This house, allegedly transformed into a den of scammers for their clandestine operations, became the focal point of the investigation.

Among the numerous suspects apprehended during the DCI’s raid was a police officer affiliated with the Kiminini DCI offices, believed to have been on the payroll of these criminal masterminds, tasked with shielding their illicit operations from law enforcement scrutiny.
Trapped and Deceived

The Tunisian victim’s ordeal began when he arrived in Kenya, spending nearly an hour at the airport without anyone attending to him.

Subsequently, he was persuaded by a taxi driver that he would be safely transported to his intended destination.

The victim was then transported to Ngara, a district in Nairobi, where he was held incommunicado for an entire week before being summoned to the Garden Estate “office”.

During this time, his place of residence was Hennessey’s Hotel in Ngara, located in close proximity to Stima Plaza.

His captors demanded a down payment of Sh500 million before he could lay his eyes on the alleged gold.

Following the preliminary inspection and verification of a small sample, he was to pay the remaining Sh600 million.

However, he failed to meet the stipulated deadline.
