How pro footballer Michael Olunga and lover nearly lost Sh67 million in fake land deal

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has been a man on a mission ever since he burst into the limelight while playing for local football giant Gor Mahia in 2015.
The 28-year-old sharp shooting striker, who currently plays professional football at Al-Duhail Football Club in Qatar, has traversed many countries in Europe and Asia making millions of shillings from his gifted left foot and goal poaching skills.

Back home, the bully striker has not only invested in his balls by registering a football mentorship foundation dubbed Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA), but also has his eyes set on property investments. With the fame and big money that comes with playing professional football, Olunga and his girlfriend Grace Edith Akinyi decided to expand their territory by a commercial plot in Nairobi to establish a business.

Aware that his glorious playing career will one day come to an end, the current golden boy of Kenyan soccer and his sweetheart decided to pump Sh67 million into a real estate company that promised to sell them the commercial land in Nairobi. What started as a noble gesture for the couple almost turned into another con game and mega land scam when the company refused to transfer the land to the couple after receiving the full payment.
