Police in South Africa are searching for a suspect who ran away from custody. The suspect is accused of pretending to be a doctor.
Kingsley Leeto Chele is someone who pretended to be a doctor or pharmacist on Facebook and tricked women into giving him their money, according to the police.
He is also known as Dr Kingsley Chele or Dr KJ Ncube.
Chele is being accused of lying to healthcare workers on Facebook about wanting to find investors. He then took their money without actually having any projects to invest in.
He got caught by the police on October 2nd because people reported he was doing fraudulent things in June.
A court in Pretoria said he couldn’t be released from jail and he had to stay there until his next court date, which was set for this Tuesday.
He got away on the day before yesterday, while the police were arranging his things at his home, and he has been running away ever since, says the police.
The police want anyone who knows where he is to contact them.
The man, Dr. Matthew Lani, recently appeared on the app TikTok. He was seen wearing medical clothing called scrubs and giving advice on health matters at a public hospital.
