Suspected fraudster Edwin Ochieng Oduk was Thursday released on a Ksh.500,000 cash bail and will be required to report to Kilimani Police Station DCI offices every day at 9 am for the next seven days as investigations continue.

Kibra Senior Principal Magistrate Charles Mwaniki denied the prosecution’s prayer that sought to have the suspect detained for seven days as investigations continue citing a lack of compelling reasons.

The prosecution sought to detain the suspect for 7 days to firm up the case, stating that they needed time to examine his gadgets, as well as apprehend other suspects who are still at large. The prosecution also stated that Oduk was a flight risk.

“Just that a report was made and no investigations done, therefore it is likely that investigations didn’t commence prior to the arrest, I’m therefore of the considered view that all that is left can be achieved when the suspect is at liberty…

Mwaniki admitted Oduk to a Ksh.500,000 cash bail, requiring him to present himself and aid investigations every day at 9 am for the next seven days.

Oduk was arrested on allegations of swindling a French National in an incident where he claimed to be in a position to process the release of USD 89 million (Ksh.12.8 billion) in a fictitious account and transport it for him in cash from Gabon to Ghana then Rwanda, only for him to later claim that Kenyan authorities impounded the cash.
