Matrix Private Detectives have apprehended Francis Zhakata for allegedly defrauding multiple individuals through a fraudulent borehole drilling scheme. Zhakata operated under the banner of a bogus company named Riverine Boreholes, preying on people who were seeking essential water services. Reports indicate that the cumulative financial loss suffered by the victims exceeds $15,000, as the suspect would reportedly vanish without a trace immediately after receiving payments for his services.
For a period, Zhakata managed to evade capture by providing false information regarding his whereabouts, claiming to some of his victims that he had relocated to South Africa to escape accountability. However, his period of evasion came to an end following a strategic and coordinated effort by the private investigators. Matrix Private Detectives successfully tracked the suspect to a hideout in Glen View, where
they conducted an early morning raid to take him into custody. Following the successful operation, Zhakata was handed over to the police, where he remains in custody. He is currently assisting law enforcement with further investigations as they work to uncover the full extent of the fraudulent activities.
