It has emerged that police, Nairobi County Government officials, cartels, Immigration officers, Ministry of Lands officials and international firms are involved in the scheme.

The game revolves around forging fake wills and signatures aimed at disinheriting foreigners or Kenyans of foreign origin and also involved are crooked lawyers and fake court orders.

So far, five foreigners have been dispossessed, among them Sarah Joselyn, a Nakuru-based Briton who is the sole heir of an estate left behind by the late Richard Ingram Crawford.

However, she told the Standard, she was in January arrested for allegedly forging the will, which was written in 2009, and locked up in cells despite having suffered a stroke.

She says that one complainant appeared in February last year claiming to have bought the land from the deceased. Her British passport has since been confiscated.

This comes only a day after the court threw away another attempt to dispossess a Coas-based investor of his hotel worth Sh1 billion by an Italian couple claiming to own it.

The court has established that the couple presented a fake court order purporting that it was issued by a court in Milan, Italy.

Consequently, detectives are in pursuit of the group of Kenyans said to have dispossessed five foreigners of their property amounting to billions of shillings.
