Family sources, friends, and former colleagues have confirmed that the late Wells Fargo HR Manager Willis Ayieko was investigating a Ksh 94 million heist before his tragic murder last week.
Ayieko was deeply involved in the company’s internal probe following the theft, which occurred in November 2023 during the transit of funds from Quick Mart Supermarket to a bank in Nairobi.
On October 23, three days after his disappearance, investigators found his mutilated body in a shallow stream in Siaya.
The theft prompted Wells Fargo management to hold a series of crisis meetings, which culminated in an internal investigation that identified several staff suspects linked to the heist.
The investigation resulted in police arresting persons connected to the crime.
Forensic analysis of communication data pointed to two main suspects: Anthony Nduiki and Daniel Mutheka.
Despite the circumstances surrounding his death, there is no immediate evidence linking Ayieko’s murder to his involvement in the heist investigation.
There have been no arrests thus far as the police continue with their investigation surrounding the controversial and shocking murder.
