Zahara Totto’s ex-lover Don Solomon, real name Tony Taban Sulaiman Malish, is on the run after Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) launched a hunt for him over fraudulent activities.
Known as a businessman and socialite, Don Solomon became popular in Ugandan entertainment circles in 2019 after being involved in a romantic love affair with media personality Zahara Totto.
Without much information about him, however, netizens always questioned his source of income especially when he gifted Zahara a BMW car which was later discovered as a fake publicity stunt.
On several occasions, Don Solomon has been hunted down by police in Uganda over fraud. In 2021, he was arrested and thrown in prison on allegations of impersonation, accumulative debts, and Electronic Fraud.
On Wednesday evening, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in Kenya launched a hunt for Solomon over alleged fraudulent acts.
Solomon is also alleged to have fraudulently obtained assorted steel rods from Bayfair Hardware in Mombasa valued at Ksh842,000, by depositing a bad cheque of a similar amount at the hardware’s bank account.
DCI further notes that he is accused of fraud and related offenses at various banks in Melbourne Capital, Victoria State in Australia and hence a hunt for him is on.
Below is the official statement from DCI on the matter:
DETECTIVES HUNTING DOWN INTERNATIONAL FRAUDSTER
