Dillion Kibet is accused of having colluded with Rose Omamo Adhiambo to defraud a foreigner in the trade of fake gold sold at 300 million shillings.

A warranty of arrest was issued in February 2020 by the Milimani law courts but Dillion Kibet and Rose Omamo and other suspects, accused of masterminding the fake gold syndicate went into hiding.

Rose Omamo and Dillion Kibet were also ordered to be arrested together with other suspects accused of having taken part in the syndicate with all arrested except for Rose.

The DCI has thanked members of the public in their assistance to help bring crime suspects to face justice while urging Kenyans to maintain law and order.

Rose Omamo remains at large with the DCI urging anyone who has any information on her whereabouts to present it to the DCI branches.
