Four Chinese nationals were today arraigned at the Kibera Law Courts and charged with allegedly stealing more than Sh22 million belonging to Bang Bet Company Limited.
The four suspects Xialolin Gu, Guodong Fu, Xiaopeng Gu, and Wenji Gao appeared before Kibera Chief Magistrate Stella Atambo, where they denied the charges.
The court heard that the four, jointly with others who have not been presented before court, allegedly stole Sh22,089,065 from Safaricom Pay Bill number 3039787, said to be the property of Bang Bet Company Limited. The alleged offence is said to have occurred between July 27 and August 4, 2026, at an unknown location within Kenya.

The court was told that Gu allegedly acquired Sh916,595, said to be proceeds of crime from Bang Bet Company Limited. He faces another charge of allegedly acquiring a further Sh1,182,404, also said to be proceeds of crime.
