DCI Hunts Down Kiambu Land Fraudster Isaac Macharia

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations are on the trail of Isaac Macharia, a notorious land fraudster accused of swindling unsuspecting buyers in the areas of Thika, Ruiru, and Juja. Macharia has been known to lure victims with enticing but fraudulent land deals, only to vanish without a trace after securing their money.

Authorities are urging anyone who may have information about his whereabouts or activities to step forward and assist in the investigation.

As the head of Vuka Land Realtors and Eastlink Shelters, he has allegedly deceived numerous clients by promising them land ownership while failing to deliver the necessary title deeds or complete the property transfer process. Many of his victims are now in precarious situations, having invested significant sums in land that ultimately does not exist.

Reports indicate that Macharia employs aggressive marketing tactics, such as orchestrated site visits and counterfeit land ownership documents, to attract potential buyers, making his schemes all the more convincing.

He convinces clients that the properties are genuine, only for them to realise later that they were duped.

Victims have tried to reach him, but he frequently switches off his phones, making it nearly impossible to trace him.

His last known residence is in Kasarani, Seasons, but authorities believe he operates under multiple identities and phone numbers to avoid detection.

His fraudulent operations have reportedly cost buyers millions, leaving families and investors in financial distress. Some victims have come forward with evidence, showing transactions and agreements that were never honoured.

DCI officers are now gathering statements and compiling evidence from affected buyers as they intensify the search for Macharia.

Law enforcement is urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to report to DCI offices in Juja, Thika, Ruiru, or Kenol immediately.

Meanwhile, affected individuals are calling for swift legal action against Macharia, warning that his fraudulent activities continue to lure more unsuspecting buyers into financial ruin.

“We trusted him because his company looked legitimate,” said one victim. “Now, we have nothing, and he is nowhere to be found. We need justice before he ruins more lives.”
