The Director of Public Prosecution Renson Ingonga has opposed the release of a woman charged with forging a marriage certificate on bail.
The DPP opposed the release of Faduma Mohamed Mire on bail arguing that the complaints- Sahro Mahdi Abdi, Marian Abdullahi Musse and Ayan Musse, who are widow and daughters of Abdulkadir Musse Farah, are Canadian citizens.
The investigating officer corporal Lucas Juma told the court that Faduma is a Swedish citizen and has been living in the country since the year 2018. He said the suspect has three other court cases all touching on inheritance of Farah’s properties.
He told the court that investigations established the marriage certificate was obtained fraudulently from Highridge location chief by accused, to enable her file a case in court.
Faduma is accused of forging a marriage certificate purporting it to be marriage certificate issued by Kadhi’s court in Nairobi 10th September 1993. She allegedly committed the offence on diverse dates between 17th November 2016 and 3rd June 2019, jointly with others not before court.
The prosecution told the court on the same dates and years, Faduma made a Muslim marriage certificate purporting it to be a marriage certificate made by government printer and issued by Kadhi’s court.
It is alleged that she committed the offence jointly with others not before court without lawful authority or excuses.
She is further accused that with intent to deceive, knowingly and fraudulently uttered a purported Muslim Marriage certificate on 27th January in the year 2022 at Milimani Commercial Magistrate’s court in civil suit No. Mccc E345/2022.
