Dumb Kisumu Hawker Arrested After Presenting Fake Million Dollar Bill in a Bank
Mr Wafula had retrieved the fake bill from his merchandise . The Kibuye Market trader was turned down by the first bank before he tried his luck on the next bank .
Mr Wafula ’ s windfall would have been equivalent to nearly Ksh100 million .
Confirming the incident , Kisumu County Police Commander Titus Yoma said the suspect who was held at Kisumu Central police was oblivious of the fact the piece of paper in hand was worthless .
No sooner had a 40-year-old trader thought his life had changed than his rags to riches dream was quashed on Thursday after a local bank called the police on him for ‘ attempted fraud ’.
Simon Wafula , a mitumba clothes dealer in Kisumu , was arrested after presenting a ‘ fake million dollar bill ’ to the forex section of a Kisumu bank , Citizen reports .
“ He went to one bank and asked if it could be converted to Kenyan money but was informed that it wasn ’ t real . He decided to inquire in another bank ,” said Yoma .
“ The piece of paper looks like a dollar note on one side but on the other side , it has what looks like church announcements printed . He was reported by the second bank ,” he added .
The man was later released since no charges could be pressed against him .
