Friday, January 9,
2026 - The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is actively
pursuing Timothy Njeru Wanjuki, whose photograph appears below, the director
and sole shareholder of East Africa Motors Limited, in connection with multiple
fraud cases involving Obtaining Money by False Pretences.
The suspect allegedly targeted foreign nationals, including
United Nations personnel based in Nairobi, by promising to import motor
vehicles, promises that were either never fulfilled or only partially honoured
after victims incurred significant additional costs.
Evidence shows that victims paid substantial sums, totalling
tens of thousands of US dollars, directly into accounts controlled by the
suspect.
While some vehicles were eventually imported, payments to
Japanese suppliers were often incomplete, leading to delays, extra charges,
storage fees, and other financial losses for clients. In several cases,
complainants received no vehicles at all.
Investigations further revealed that the company's physical
offices had been closed, with operations shifted online.
In response to DCI action, the East Africa Motors Limited
website was taken down to prevent further engagements, and the company's
registration has since been cancelled.
Efforts to locate and arrest Timothy Njeru Wanjuki remain
ongoing, with support from other investigative units.
The DCI strongly cautions the public against conducting any
business transactions with Timothy Njeru Wanjuki or any entities associated
with him.
Anyone with a pending complaint, unresolved case, or relevant information related to this suspect is urged to report immediately to the DCI’s Serious Crime Unit.
