Kennedy Njukia, a director at Manyota Investment Limited, has told the Milimani Law Courts how his company lost KSh 1.6 million to a man who claimed he could help execute an eviction order from the Mavoko Law Courts.
The accused, Credious Nyamwenge Oigara, has been charged with obtaining money by false pretence.
The court heard that Oigara, with intent to defraud, dishonestly obtained KSh 1,600,000 from the company by pretending he was in a position to effect the eviction order, a claim prosecutors say was false.
Njukia testified that the company paid the money believing the accused would lawfully facilitate the process, only to later discover that the documents and promises were not genuine.
The case will continue on 27th January 2025 before magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi
