A woman who had been wanted over an alleged land fraud case has been arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ Land Fraud Investigations Unit.
Nancy Wamuyu Njai was arrested after a warrant of arrest was issued against her by the Kajiado Chief Magistrate’s Court on December 17, 2025.
She is now being processed and is expected to appear before the Kajiado Law Courts on Friday, July 10, 2026.
According to the DCI, Nancy will face charges together with her co-accused, Josephat Gichuge Mwirabua, also known as “Kabeabea”, and Robert Mwarangu.
The two men had already been arrested earlier and have since appeared in court to take plea as the case continues.
Investigations by detectives show that the case dates back to between September and December 2016. During that period, several people bought plots of land from Diamond Property Merchants Ltd in the Bethany Phase III area of Kajiado County.
The buyers believed they were making genuine investments after they were promised ownership of the plots once the transaction was completed.
The investors were also told they would benefit from greenhouse farming projects that were expected to generate good returns.
The promise of earning income from modern farming reportedly encouraged more people to invest in the project.
However, before the buyers could receive their individual title deeds, investigators say they discovered that the main title for the land had allegedly been transferred to the wife of Josephat Gichuge Mwirabua.
The land was then reportedly subdivided, with some portions allegedly sold to other unsuspecting buyers.
Detectives further established that the same title deed was allegedly used to secure a bank loan worth Sh15 million. This raised further concerns about the ownership of the land and the investments made by the original buyers, many of whom had been waiting for their title deeds.
The investigation also found that potential investors were allegedly attracted through advertisements by Nguzo International, a company linked to Nancy Wamuyu Njai.
The advertisements reportedly promised buyers profitable greenhouse farming ventures on the land they intended to purchase, making the investment appear attractive.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has said it remains committed to fighting land fraud across the country.
The agency has urged members of the public to carry out proper checks before buying land by confirming ownership documents with the relevant government offices.
Detectives say verifying land records and ownership details before making payments can help protect buyers from fraud and prevent similar cases in the future.
