Businessman Charged With Sh2.3 Million Fake Import Fraud
A businessman was on Monday arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts charged with obtaining money by false pretenses.
Yasser Abdelwahab Mohammed is accused of cheating contrary to section 315 of the Penal Code.
According to the charge sheet, between March 1, 2024, and November 30, 2024, in Nairobi County, Mohammed allegedly induced Nasra Ibrahim Roble to pay him a total of Sh2.3 million by falsely pretending he could import and install a water filtration machine at her farm a fact he knew to be false.
He pleaded not guilty to the offense.
Prosecution did not oppose his release on bail. His lawyer told the court that Mohammed has been a resident in Kenya for more than four years, is a businessman, and left his mother country to venture into Kenya. He asked the court to grant his client a cash bail of Sh50,000.
However, the court granted him bail of Sh200,000 with one Kenyan contact person. He was also ordered to deposit his passport in court.
The case will be mentioned on October 15 in Court 8.
