KK Security employee who escaped with Sh25m arrested in Homa Bay

KK Security employee who escaped with Sh25m while flying to JKIA from Mombasa has been arrested in Homa Bay.   

Police have been looking for the missing KK staff Hudson Nyasaka after he disappeared with the money one week ago.

The employee was flying from Nyali in Mombasa to Nairobi carrying the money in foreign currencies and was to deliver to Trust Bank when the incident happened on Tuesday morning.

Airport police boss Rono Bunei said the KK Security employees reported the matter two hours after the man had left the airport.

“By the time they came to report, the man had alighted and left the airport. The hunt on him is ongoing,” he said. Nyasaka had apparently told his colleagues he would land at JKIA at 9.30 am while in reality he was landing at 7.30 am.

Further, he told the employees who were to pick him with armed police officers that he would land Terminal 1 but he in reality was landing at Terminal 2, police said.

When the colleagues arrived at the terminal they had been told Nyasaka would land, they were informed the plane had landed elsewhere two hours earlier.

“He had arrived aboard a Fly 540 flight and it seems he misled his colleagues who were to pick him. He then switched off his phone to avoid being followed,” said Bunei. The cash was in foreign currencies of USD 50,000, 98,500 Euros and 90,000 Swiss Franc.
