A trader has been charged with Sh2.6 million fraud.
Mohammed Sharif Diriye appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi over accusations of defrauding Abdi Hussein.
Diriye is accused of obtaining USD 18000 (2,651,400.00) from Abdi on diverse dates between March 15, 2023 and July 31,2023, within Nairobi.
The court heard that he obtained the millions by falsely pretending that he was in a position to import used electronics from the United States of America, yet he knew he could not.
The prosecution opposed Diriye’s release on cash bail arguing that they needed time to file affidavit stating the reason not release him on bail.
