City Trader Charged with Forging Land Title Deed Worth Sh300 Million

A city trader has been charged with forging a title deed of land worth Sh300 million.

Abdirahman Muhumed Abdi, alias Abdi, appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina where he denied the charges.

The prosecution alleged that with intent to defraud Pansiba Limited of its parcels of land LR No. 209/10848 and LR No. 209/10849, measuring approximately 0.8000 hectares, Abdirahman forged a title deed for the property estimated to be worth Sh300 million.

According to the charges, he fraudulently amalgamated the two parcels which gave rise to LR No. 209/16790, and forged a Certificate of Title for the said parcel of land.

It is further alleged that he purported the title deed was genuine and issued by the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning.

He is also accused of forging a provisional approval dated April 4, 2006, allegedly from the Ministry of Lands, purporting it to be genuine, with the intention to defraud Pansiba Ltd of its property.

The court ordered him to deposit a bond of Sh3 million or alternative cash bail of Sh1 million to secure his release.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
