Missing JKUAT graduate Victor Kibet is reportedly part of an international gang involved in online bank fraud.
At just 23 years old, Victor Kibet appeared to have achieved the pinnacle of success that many young Kenyans aspire to.
Kibet, who graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from JKUAT, had no visible means of income.
Yet, he regularly flaunted a fleet of luxurious vehicles, including a 2023 Mercedes GLC 250 4 Matic valued at over Sh. 8.3 million, alongside an Audi Q7, a Subaru Forester, and a Toyota Mark X.
The 23-year-old claimed that he was doing forex trading.
However, reports surfaced linking Kibet to an international online fraud syndicate, allegedly involved in draining bank accounts of unsuspecting victims.
His father has denied that his son was involved in crime, although he had no idea where he got his money from.
“My son told me he had started a business with other friends, but never told me which one,” his father told Nation Africa.
“We used to support each other financially. Sadly, he is missing and I am on my way to Nairobi from Narok to find out what has happened,” Kibet’s father added, noting that Victor and he were in the process of building a luxurious mansion in their rural home.
Victor had been on the DCI’s radar for quite some time before he was abducted on March 18 in Juja by armed men claiming to be police officers.
He has not been booked in any police station.
