Believe it or not, the young man pictured above is the mastermind behind some of the fradulent SMSes you have been receiving on your cellphones. He’s also responsible for fraudulent advertisements that appear on our daily locals, especially in the classified section as well as the lonely hearts column. Buying a car or plot? Looking for a house? Looking for a soulmate? Be very warned that most of those advertisements originate from within prison cells!
He has in the last four years been behind bars at the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison where he’s on death row. The sad thing is he’ll soon be among us if his appeal goes through. He has been working with fellow conmen who are in our midst to swindle innocent wananchi of their hard earned cash. Thanks to the naivety of most Kenyans, this young man has become a millionaire behind bars & now employs several conmen who help him do what he knows best, coning you & I!
This is a man who’ll do anything, impersonate anyone just to make you part with your money. If you’re wondering how he does it behind bars without meeting you, he’ll always claim to be busy in & out of the country & as such has to leave most of his work to his “personal assistant” (employed conmen outside prison), therefore, you’ll never question his absence until you’re robbed, after which he throws away that SIM card & moves on to his next victim. His tactics are very well organized & it’s very hard to even imagine that he’s behind bars; don’t we all now know that inmates usually have access to high tech mobile phones & even laptops that enable them to communicate to the outside world as though they were not in jail? Samuel Ngure Kariuki is one untouchable inmate at the “Condemn G” block, nicknamed “Garrisa Lodge” due to the fraudulent business deals that take place with the outside world…
The way his appeal case at the high court is going, there’s every indication that this man will be back among us, moreover, we can’t talk of any reforms on his part. If anything, the prison has only made him a better conman & thief! It’s with this in mind that we request you to circulate this. Who knows? He may soon join your neighbourhood, he might come knocking at your office selling you stuff that only exits on paper or your church… He might even become your friend’s boyfriend, who knows? Fact is, he’s very gentlemanly in his ways, very eloquent in his English & you’ll never suspect he’s a conman & thief.

He looks handsome and innocent.
a young man who can propose to me and accept. I can’t believe this.
That is why it is said don’t judge the book by its cover.

Hi I love your blog though this is my first visit…it’s very informative.
I’m a Kenyan in the IT industry too…I’m looking forward to reading more from you.
Thanks.

I hear this guy pays for his family’s upkeep from jail. He has a brother in a private university, whose fees he pays, he supports his jobless sister as well as his parents. Sad thing is that the family is so saved, they pretend they are not beneficiaries.

ye without sin cast the first stone!pray for the guy and others and stop the holier than thou attitude.How different is he from our dear politicians,police,doctors,lawyers,journalists….and you?

I watched in disbelief the NTV feature the other day on how convicts swindle guys millions of shillings thru fraudulent adverts in paper. We must be so desperate as a nation in this hard economic times to send money to strangers, in search of jobs, love etc. Please circulate this so that Kenyans are aware

Romours have it that this guy has threatened to kill some of his victims, with some of them opting to leave the country. Surely, I pray that someone will be brave enough to put a bullet on his forehead before he destroys more Kenyans.
@Sam, you sound like a conman yourself…I wouldn’t be surprised if you are him, or even part of his entourage. What a lame excuse!! Shame on you.
munyao // October 26, 2009 at 6:22 pm |
With our current judicial system, it is possible that this guy will be out soon, if he isn’t already. Bribing judges is the order of the day in Kenya, so criminals like Samuel Ngure will continue doing what they do best, after all, they can easily buy their way out of Kamiti.
I also heard that he boasts that he does not know how prison food tastes like despite being in Kamiti…yeah, that is the Kenya we live in, do not be shocked!!
Shiro // October 27, 2009 at 4:34 am |
I know this guy. He’s from our estate, Koma. Karis, the kid bro who is in daystar is among those who help him. Even his bro should be in Kamiti too. And to think that Ngure is in Kamiti for a worse crime!
Otee // November 2, 2009 at 7:36 am |
This is very good. The public needs to be made aware of such criminals who have decided that they are too special to toil…he may be a millionare, but pay he must, in whatever way. What goes around always comes around. The public is also not so forgiving, especially in these hard times. He may be digging his own grave. Kudos to you guys for exposing him.

Hehehe…Sammy’s family is laughing all the way to the bank, sorry, to mpesa joints while we sit here and hate on him. Am sure he is like a mini god to his siblings. Man! He manufactures money from Kamiti prison!
Maybe somebody should hook me up with him, but on the other hand, I do not want to become a widow mapema. These are the Matheris and Wanugus of this world who make chums in a short time, then leave it all to their families to spend, while they themselves move on six feet under…food for termites.

Am sure its the kid bro who places the adverts for him in the daily locals. I think prison wardens must be assisting him too. How do you have a cellphone/laptop in ”a maxim security prison” yet the wardens are not aware?How can he have access to civilian clothing if the wardens arent aware? which means one day he shall just walk out and vanish. It must be a cartel and they must be benefiting from these con games.
But life has a way of twisting humans, what goes around comes around……….
Soja // November 10, 2009 at 2:34 pm |
Of course it is a very well organised cartel. I have been to kamiti severally to visit a relative and you wont believe the clad those guys don. They have the latest designer clothes, cologne…
Samuel is just one of them. But atalipa tuuuu, as baba Jimmy would say. He should not think himself lucky. Saddest thing is that he can easily bribe the judges na hata usikie he was pardoned.
As for his entourage, hata wao wataanikwa tu. This operation mulika mwizi is super.
Mose // November 10, 2009 at 3:04 pm |
yaaani!! All along we were made to believe that this guy is in states…kumbe amekuwa kamiti all along! Whaaaaaat! I need a drink!!
Wangui // November 12, 2009 at 3:38 pm |
It is really unfortunate that even in these hard times, people like Samuel Ngure can rob poor Kenyans off their hard earned cash. He is still very young so there is plenty of time to pay for his sins. A big pity that he will be out soon….
I wonder what our prison authorities are doing about criminals like him.
Shii // November 18, 2009 at 6:16 am |
Calling this guy a conman is an understatement. Remember the guy is in prison for a worse crime, from where he joined the business of con-artistry, now he networks with the best hitmen in town to silence his victims. He is a killer!!

It is sad to note that this young man has actually become a neater, cleaner and clever fraudster as opposed to when he was sentenced 5 yrs ago. I often ask myself this question, what if he was put there for all the wrong reasons and maybe just maybe he may have been innocent? remember when you are in an akward position you must position yourself to fit into the society you find yourself around . For instance within Kamiti prison condemn block G, here you will find muderers, rapists, gansters who are really hardened and for you to survive their harrasment you have to buy your way, thus the compelling urgency to become a fraudster so that you may keep a float amidst all the atrocitys. Not withstanding the inhumane acts subjected upon them by the prison warders, as such they have learned to quickly adapt.
Instead of condemning them i think we should rally for a better correctional system and judicial system that does not sleep on the job. i know a couple of people who have been arrested and sentenced under mistaken identity and they have had to suffer the mental, physical and emotional torture of being amidst hardcore criminals, in as much as such a person may have been timid, this horrifying experiences makes them hardened and determined to do anything to keep them alive..
Look at the coin from both sides and dont just look at the head or tail, remember this is someones brother, cousin, husband, son and friend.
Thats my opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs….

@incognito, it is hard to look at both sides of the coin when you are the victim. So what do you tell the victims?…”eeh, uh ummm, Samuel is a good kid gone bad, it is unfortunate that someone had to be his victim, and we are sorry it had to be you…” Are his victims too not people’s sisters, brothers, husbands, wifes, parents?
This guy should pay for every single tear he has caused….it’s not just the loss of money, think about the emotional, psychological torture he continues to put his victims through. Infact just paying his victims would never ever be enough to undo the damage he has done to his victims. He is an animal!
Let it be known to him and his beneficiaries that one of these days he will wish he had never ever entertained the thought of conning innocent Kenyans. He will wish he was never born.

Con artistry isn’t new in this family, it only gets better with generations. Ngure’s mum is a 2nd wife, married to a very old man, a very opportunistic marriage which has seen his biological kids lose their inheritance to these bastard kids. Con game at its best!
