Joe Mwangi’s days as a ‘con’ artist are fast coming to an end. After online outrage, the DCI officially announced they commenced investigations on him and legal action will be taken if he is found guilty.
This comes as great news to many Kenyans who watched gymnast Wendy Waeni’s heartbreaking expose by Jeff Koinange. Joe, who was her former manager, used her to enrich himself while the girl and her mother wallowed in poverty in silence.
#DCI Detectives from the Child Protection Unit have today commenced investigations into this matter & should ANY criminal culpability be found, appropriate legal action will be taken. We are grateful to all those who brought this to our attention.#WendyWaeni. https://t.co/zfNaLsAjAu

Thank you for taking this up. Now the angle of paedophilia needs to be pursued. Look at this photo and conversation. This girl needs to be questioned if this fellow abused her. @SenMutula @MTotoNews @fidakenya pic.twitter.com/2YJVkWSHMN

#WendyWaeni @KoinangeJeff did a very good expose. These acts take place all over kenya even in work places.Ask around and you will be surprised as to how many young kenyans decided to quit jobs due to lack of pay and to date their employers still haven't paid them #ExposeCons

Joe Mwangi knew he had been using Wendy Waeni's Instagram account and other social media accounts to extort money from clients and definitely pressed the Kill button on IG just to try and cover up his trails. But he will be found and will be at Kariokor Soon. ππ#WendyWaeni
