Mr. John Mbugua Mwangi now residing in Indianapolis in Indiana, USA, has received thousands of US dollars from several Kenyan women living in different parts of USA, in the pretext of incorporating them in his registered businesses. He has been targeting women without proper documents to live in USA, possibly because they cannot expose themselves to the US courts of law for the fear of being identified and hence deported back to Kenya. Mr. Mbugua has the following business names which he is using to convince his victims to give him money;
1] The Amazing care Center.
2] The Special Care.
3] One Special Care.
He has received money from women living in California, Indianapolis and Massachusetts among others. One lady from California has lost $ 75,000 to this man while the other one from Massachusetts has lost $ 50,000 to the same man. Mr. John Mbugua Mwangi who changed his name from Mr. John Maina Mwangi to his current name before flying to USA, had conned many Kenyans millions of Kshs. He had been arrested in Kenya and put in custody in 2001 but soon he disappeared from custody under mysterious circumstances. In his ruling on the 14th. Of October 2003, Chief Magistrate Mr. Muchelule withdrew case following a request by the Prosecutor, under section 87 [a] C.P.C on the grounds that the state had failed to trace Mr. John Maina Mwangi after his disappearance from Prison.
Meanwhile efforts are being made to apprehend this Fugitive turned conman in USA, all Kenyans living in USA should be extremely careful or else they fall victims and loose money to this man. No doubts the US Government in collaboration with the Kenya Government, will definitely end this menace.
