Court Issues Warrant of Arrest For Two Fake Gold Scammers
A Nairobi court has issued warrant of arrest against two businessmen for failing to appear in court to plead to fraud charges.
Milimani Principal Magistrate Teressia Nyangena issued arrest warrant against Mohamed Annour Sadate and Gilbert Omollo Orwe alias David Gweth after they failed to appear in court to answer to charges related to gold fraud.
Magistrate Nyangena rejected an application by a lawyer representing one of the suspects, who claimed that they were ambushed with the case and that his client was unwell.
Sadate and Orwe are accused of committing the offence on diverse dates between 6 April and 30 June 2022 in Nairobi City County.
It is further alleged that they committed the fraud jointly with others not before court, with intent to defraud and allegedly obtained USD 101,400 from Sardar Mohamad Tabraiz by falsely pretending that they were in a position to sell to him 2,000kgs of gold.
The charge sheet registered in court stated that they allegedly forged a rejection letter for export purporting it to be a valid and genuine document issued by Kenya Revenue Authority.
It is alleged that they forged the document on or before 7 day of march 2022 at an unknown place and time within the country, Orwe jointly in the country.
Orwe is also accused of making a certificate of origin No. 8796, purporting it to be a valid and genuine document issued by East African Community Customs COMESA, without lawful authority.
