His actions have quickly landed him behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man, who has been identified as Biggie wa Deals, faced arrest following a police operation. The trouble began after a businessman mistakenly sent him KSh 43,320 via M-Pesa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of returning the cash to its rightful owner, the man chose a dishonest path. He decided to keep the money for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid being tracked down, he quickly turned off his phone. He even removed his SIM card and completely disappeared from his usual spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, law enforcement officers did not give up on the case. Investigations eventually led detectives straight to a local club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officers found him relaxing and enjoying himself at the venue. It turned out he had already spent the wrongly sent money on a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspect was promptly taken into police custody following the discovery. He is currently locked up and awaiting court proceedings to face his charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following this incident, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued a stern warning to Kenyans. They reminded the public that keeping or spending money sent by mistake is a crime that leads to criminal charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Owen Chege A man has found himself in serious trouble after making a costly&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1001"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1003,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001\/revisions\/1003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jukwaapress.co.ke\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
