Businessman James Wanjohi presented himself to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) offices on Monday evening shortly after arriving in the country.

Wanjohi, a pastor, is alleged to have obtained more than Kes .600 million after defrauding 4,000 Kenyans while promising them Visas to travel abroad.

Addressing the media, Wanjohi's lawyer, Ndegwa Njiru, maintained that his client is innocent and is willing to cooperate with the DCI to provide any information required in the probe.

"My client has not been involved in whichever way in the manner that the media has picked it up. He voluntarily came before the investigating officer to answer to those allegations and we have answered to them count by count."

Further, he claimed that Wanjohi is only targeted by his rivals who plan to tarnish his name and collapse his business, Worthstart Africa.

"He does not run a recruitment bureau, our client runs a legitimate visa facilitation company. This is business rivalry in the sense that all materials that are here are fictitious. At no given time did some of those names appearing on those complaints appear for any assistance from my client's office or business."

Police in Nairobi raided Worthstart Africa offices in Pension towers on April 24 after victims recorded statements on how they were allegedly conned lots of money by Wanjohi, who is a director at the company.

On April 30, Wanjohi was granted anticipatory bail of Ksh.100,000, and the court barred police from arresting or detaining him in a fraud case.

The court, however, noted that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and the police are still at liberty to investigate or charge him.
