A businessman who went to Mombasa City for a business trip has lost close to SH600,000 in the latest saga of ‘mchele’ girls.

The man who went to have a good time perhaps cool off the heat at a VIP Club Volume in Shanzu spotted a beautiful damsel with whom he wished to establish a relationship of the convenience variety on Saturday night.

He wasted no time and invited her to his table for a chat over a drink and the two hit it off to a perfect night full of drinks, laughter and bliss. Or was it?

According to the man, when the clock struck 4 am, the lady who responded to the name Wambui suggested to the man that it was time to take the fun a notch higher and the two lovebirds staggered out of the club and hailed a cab to Seville apartments where the man had boarded.

Once they arrived at the apartment, they took a shower before going back to the room where the man took a glass of juice.

Also missing with the cash was his mobile phone, laptop, ATM cards and other valuables.
