Two Wells Fargo employees based in Nairobi, Daniel Mungai and driver Anthony Nduiki, made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
They vanished into thin air, along with a staggering KSh 94 million in cash belonging to Quickmart Supermarket.
This brazen theft has sent shockwaves through the local community and the banking industry.
The incident unfolded in the early hours of the morning as the employees were entrusted with the task of transferring a substantial sum of money.
The cash, neatly packed and collected from the Wells Fargo vault, was destined for deposit at Family Bank Kenyatta Avenue.
However, instead of completing this routine and seemingly secure transaction, the two employees went rogue, making off with the immense sum.
The audacity of the theft was made even more apparent as Mungai and Nduiki didn’t stop at taking the money; they also absconded with an Isuzu Canter vehicle registered as KBA 517 T.
This vehicle, which played a crucial role in their getaway, was subsequently found abandoned, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding saga.
The initial alert about the suspicious disappearance of the two rogue Wells Fargo employees came from Administration Police (AP) officers who were initially assigned to accompany them.
