He said he approached the suspects from the social media platform TikTok, where they advertise their "witchcraft services" to unsuspecting members of the public.
"I was going through the TikTok app and saw a user who was purporting to be helping people solve their problems," he said.
"I called the contact and talked to someone referring to himself as Daktari and he asked for my official names and my photo..." he told The Standard.
He would later realised that he had fallen prey to a con-game after they asked him some Sh4.5 million more to complete the deal, prompting him to report to the police.
"I reported at Parklands police station but did not get help. I then came to Central Police and they took up the matter," he stated.
The suspects have been remanded at the officers to continue with investigations before their arraignment in court.
