The 21-year-old Rashid Barasa Omari preys, pounces and later coerces his victims who he fishes from the comments section appearing on Tour and Travel advertisements.
Omari presents himself as a person capable of sponsoring his victims to the advertised destinations.
Instead, he lures them to lodgings in Nairobi after sending them bus fare, then robs them off their valuables before disappearing to his hideout.
Upon arrest, the suspect led detectives to his house where valuables including laptops, mobile phones and handbags belonging to...
...other victims were recovered.
We are appealing to young college students to be wary of such criminals preying on them on social networking sites.
