Fake EACC Lawyer Nabbed: Woman Accused of Millions in Fraud
EACC detectives have apprehended a person suspected of being a fraudulent anti-corruption lawyer and investigator, accused of deceiving people in Nairobi.
The suspect, Ms. Ezely Omwoyo, also known as ‘Jacinta,’ allegedly earned millions by deceiving government officials, contractors, suppliers, and the public, promising to resolve their corruption cases.
EACC spokesperson Eric Ngumbi announced Omwoyo’s arrest on Thursday, stating she misled her victims into believing she had confidential corruption files to incriminate them and lead to immediate arrests.
After threatening arrest, Ngumbi claims the suspect would negotiate for a bribe in the millions, saying the funds would be shared with her superiors at EACC, ODPP, and the Anti-Corruption Court.

Omwoyo was caught on Thursday after a senior government official she had called to the EACC Integrity Centre filed a complaint with the commission beforehand.
The complainant received a call from Jacinta on Tuesday, instructing him to attend the Commission’s headquarters on Thursday or face arrest.
On Thursday morning, the suspect changed plans and directed the complainant to meet her at a coffee shop at the Nairobi Public Service Club before proceeding to the Integrity Centre.
The complainant grew suspicious and informed EACC officers, who arrested her during the bribe negotiation.
She was held at the EACC Integrity Centre Police Station and processed on Friday.
