Wilbert Nyarugwe Arrested for Fraud.
Claimed to be Zanu PF Member Who Could Help with Seized Goods.

The police arrested Wilbert Nyarugwe, age 44, for fraud. They say he tricked a businessman named Douglas Muraza.

Nyarugwe said he was on an important committee for the Zanu PF political party. He told Muraza he could get back the man's bus and goods. The government tax agency, Zimra, had taken them.

Nyarugwe asked Muraza for $10,000. He said it was for the head of Zimra, Regina Chinamasa. Nyarugwe claimed they were friends. Muraza's wife gave Nyarugwe the money.

Later, Muraza got an email from Zimra stating that he owed a lot more money in taxes and fees. When Muraza asked about this, Nyarugwe made excuses. He promised to pay back the $10,000 but never did.

The police found out Nyarugwe was lying. He did not actually know Chinamasa, and he had no power to help with the seized items.

Nyarugwe went to court. The judge ordered him to stay in jail for now. He will have a chance to ask for bail next week. But he is facing a serious crime for his lies and theft.

The police remind everyone to be careful. Do not trust strangers who make big promises. It is safer to work directly with the proper authorities.
