Fake Gold Scammer Arraigned for Swindling Over Ksh 208 Million from Foreigner
A man suspected to be a fake gold scammer was on Monday arraigned before a Milimani court, charged with fraudulently obtaining over Ksh 208 million (equivalent to $1.3 million) from a foreigner.
Ronald Osonga Khejeri appeared before Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina and denied the charge.
It is alleged that between March 31 and May 30, 2024, he conspired with others—some already charged and others still at large—to defraud an investor, Tanner Caldwell Cook.
The court heard that Khejeri and his associates falsely claimed they could facilitate the sale of 3,370 kilograms of gold, convincing Cook to part with a total of $1,388,262.76 (approximately Ksh 208 million).
Khejeri denied the charges and was granted release on a cash bail of Ksh 400,000.
The case is scheduled for mention on March 12, 2025.
