A Chinese national residing in Lang’ata, Nairobi was on Thursday night robbed of Sh50 million.
According to a police report, Wang Daoli had left the cash in a safe in his bedroom when he went to usher in the Chinese New Year.
He is said to have left behind a domestic worker and his driver on the fateful evening.
When he returned, the safe was missing. There was no sign of forced entry, police said.

“Police officers visited the scene and established that the bedroom door was not broken into, hence the possibility of an inside job. Besides, the compound is well guarded,” the report read in part.
However when he came back, the safe was missing. Detectives are suspecting that the theft was an inside job and have since arrested four of his workers including the househelp, driver and supervisor to assist with investigations. #FichuakwaDCI 0800 722 203
