Renowned car dealer Khalif Kairo, whose real name is Joseph Kairu Wambui, was arrested in Nairobi on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. The arrest took place at one of his car yards in the city.
Kairo faces allegations of defrauding clients of millions of shillings under false pretenses. Following his arrest, he was taken to Kasarani Police Station for questioning as investigations into the matter continue.
Kasarani Sub-County Criminal Investigative Officer Justis Ombati confirmed to Nation that Khalif Kairo was arrested for allegedly pocketing millions from a client without delivering the promised car or issuing a refund.
The businessman, previously warned against conducting illegal promotions, has also faced allegations of selling a damaged Ford Mustang. Ombati added that several similar complaints have been lodged at the station, prompting the police to open an official case file against Kairo. He was arrested alongside two of his employees as investigations continue.
Taking to social media, the car dealer acknowledged his arrest, describing it as one of the challenges he must face and overcome.
