A man from Nyeri County has been arrested after he tried to con Shabiki Jackpot winner Peter Nyenze.

The man identified as David Maina Karimi was rescued by police from a mob that wanted to lynch him yesterday in Machakos County.

David Maina Karimi claimed he had a message for Mr. Nyenze from God that he should give him a tithe of 10% out of the 33million he won.
