Congolese National In Sh5.5m Gold Fraud Arraigned Again In Court
A Congolese who was arrested and charged in court for allegedly using tricks to obtain Sh5.5 million from an Australian in fake gold scam appeared in court again today.
Assani Elolo Ronaldo Alias Chairman was charged last year before Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Monica Maroro where he pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bond.
He appeared again today in court but the matter was adjourned to September 23 where the case will proceed to a full hearing.
The court heard that the accused person defrauded Shelan Kelvin Micheal of the said amount on diverse dates between July 26, 2023, and August 8, 2023, in the Kilimani area within Nairobi County.
The accused person had allegedly promised to supply the complainant with three kilograms of gold bars from Kenya to Dubai.
In court, the accused person through his lawyer pleaded for a lenient bond term.
He told then court Ealier that he is married to a Kenyan man and that he was not a flight risk.
The prosecution had last year told the court to release the accused person on tough bond terms claiming that the offence was serious.
He is out on Sh 1m bond with an alternative cash bail of Sh200,000.
