Charles Wanjohi Chomba alias Wathuku seized a chance to be a billionaire heir when he discovered that a wealthy businessman had passed on without leaving behind next of kin.
The late Wathuku Ngure died childless and without a spouse, leaving his vast wealth lying idle with no one to claim inheritance.

Wanjohi was arrested after it was determined that he forged a birth certificate and identification card while posing as the son of the late Ngure.
