A 44-year-old man arrested for allegedly defrauding a woman of Ksh.12 million in a fake land deal was arraigned in court on Monday.
Appearing before magistrate BenMark Ekhubi, Abdi Yusuf Mohammed was charged with obtaining money by false pretences.
It is alleged that between the 29th of June and the 22nd of November 2023, at an unknown place within Nairobi County, with intent to defraud, Mohammed obtained Ksh.12 million from Satho Umalkher Adan.
He pretended he was in a position to sell her the parcel of land in Garisa, a fact he knew to be false.
He, however, pleaded not guilty, saying that the land belonged to him.
Magistrate Ekhubi released him on a cash bail of Ksh.1.5 million, and the matter is to be mentioned on April 21.
