Notorious DJ Conman Apprehended
They say a thief’s days are numbered but for one James Kiige, his fate was sealed. Having conned a number of deejays in Eldoret, the suspect has been slippery every time going scot-free whenever he ripped off a deejay.
According to DJ Lemah of Scratch Extreme Events, Kiige was apprehended as he tried conning DJ Boyie of Spree Club, Eldoret. Already the suspect had swindled DJ Ruff and DJ Lemah their only decks, a laptop, a mixer, amplifier and speakers worth Sh500,000, the only ones they’ve had for the past two years.
Described as swift and crafty, Kiige was spotted in Eldoret by DJ Ruff who quickly alerted the police who trailed him to DJ Boyie’s residence where he was found packing his (DJ Boyie’s) equipment in his car.
Posing as a State House official, Kiige is said to have been approaching those hiring out the equipment claiming they were required at State House Nakuru for a presidential function. After paying for a small deposit, he would insist on travelling with one person but midway through the trip, he would enter a shopping centre and ask you to alight from the vehicle and buy something. When you return, you find him gone with your equipment.
He confessed to his crimes and admitted to selling a complete DJ decks at a paltry Sh30,000 as compared to the original price of Sh200,000.
This comes just days after DJ Kamjo lost his car and expensive deejay equipment in a robbery.
