Joseph Kairo Wambui, better known as Khalif Kairo, a popular car dealer and social media personality, has been arrested once again on charges of defrauding a client.
Kairo’s latest arrest stems from allegations that he failed to deliver a vehicle to a customer who had already paid in full for the purchase.
Videos circulating on social media show Kairo being detained at Capitol Hill Police Station on Saturday, where he was involved in a tense confrontation with police officers.
In one video, Kairo can be heard pleading with the officers, saying, “Si vita, you are not going to harass me, you can’t harass me bana! You wait I sort things out.”
The situation escalated when one officer responded, “Ebu thubutu! Wacha ujinga bwana! Do you think you are the first person to come here? Unaona niko na clients pale kwa ofisi… sitakuruhusu ulete ujinga hapa. Sisi tunapiga watu. Tutakupiga hapa saa hii tu!”

According to reports, Kairo was arrested after he allegedly failed to convince the client that he was planning a trip to New York to secure funds and resolve the issue.
This arrest follows a similar incident in December 2024, when Kairo was detained at a car yard in Ridgeways over accusations of failing to deliver a luxury vehicle to another client.
Kairo, who enjoys a significant online following, has faced multiple allegations of fraud in the past, raising concerns about his business practices.
