Kenya’s Supermarket Quickmart Counting Loses After Wells Fargo Disappear With Over $600000

By Samuel Ouma

Kenya's popular retail Quickmart on Monday, November 6, 2023, lost Ksh94 million ($600,000) after two employees of Wells Fargo went missing.

The suspects, Daniel Mungai Mugetha, crew commander, and Anthony Nduiki Waigumo, driver, were carrying the money to a local bank in Nairobi city centre for deposit after receiving it from the security firm's vault as is customary.

It was reported that they collected the money and sneaked out of the firm without a police escort, raising an eyebrow.

“Oblivious that the truck they were to escort had minutes earlier snaked away, the armed escort team went to enquire from the management why the loading was taking too long. By the time, neither the truck nor the crew members could be traced,” said the police.

Police signals indicate that the two left the vehicle at Dafarm in South C, Nairobi.

“Police in Lang'ata were mobilized to pursue the daring duo, only to trace the empty truck abandoned in South C,” added the police.

The manhunt for the two suspects has been launched.
