A Chinese national lost Sh. 50 million to his househelp in Nairobi. The man identified as Wang Daoli lost the money which was in his bedroom in Langata, Nairobi. Daoli went to Langata police station on Friday and informed officers there he had lost the money which was in a safe.
As investigations gain pace, four workers have been arrested including his househelp who he says he left in the house. The others are his driver and two security men. “Police officers visited the scene and established that the bedroom door had not been broken down, hence the possibility of an inside job,” says a police report filed at the Lang’ata Police Station on Friday, February 12 under the OB Number 15/12/2/2021.
