According to DCI, Muvota was a multi millionaire with several real estate properties scattered across the city, a fleet of vehicles, and 7 wives all living lavishly. 

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Thursday, May 19 shed more details on the life of Samuel Mugoh Muvota, the man who was shot six times and killed at Mirema drive, Nairobi County. 

According to DCI, the criminal past of the late Mr. Muvota dates back to 2011 when he began stealing from victims at ATM’s in various banks. 

He would later graduate to a full time thug who hired beautiful, expensive-looking women and deployed them as drinks spiking agents at various high end entertainment spots.

The deceased is said to have headed an ATM and SIM swapping syndicate that operated like a mafia criminal organization. 

"By the time he met his death on Monday after six bullets were pumped into his body by an unknown assailant, Muvota who headed an ATM and SIM swapping syndicate that operated like a mafia criminal organization, was a multi millionaire with several real estate properties scattered across the city, a fleet of vehicles and 7 wives all living lavishly from proceeds of stupefied patrons in clubs most frequented by revelers. Interestingly, none of the wives suspected that Muvota lived a double life," DCI said. 


According to Economic Crimes detectives who have previously handled his cases, Muvota was arrested over 30 times in the past 11 years on fraud related charges and had been in and out of almost all the courts in the city and in Kiambu county.

Detectives suspect that one of the women he had employed or an accomplice must have given him into criminals after a deal gone sour.
