A Nairobi court has released Hussein Sheikh Abdullah, a suspected serial fraudster, on a bond of Ksh 3 million or a surety of a similar amount. Sheikh, who faces six counts of fraud, pleaded not guilty before Kibera Magistrate Irine Kahuia.
The charges include obtaining Ksh 11 million by falsely claiming he could incorporate a businessman into a macadamia business.
According to the first count, “It is alleged that on diverse dates between January 1, 2023, and February 28, 2024, at Nairobi within Nairobi County, with intent to defraud, obtained Ksh 11 million from Abdulahi Mohammed Hajji by falsely pretending to be in a position to sell him macadamia in Dubai, a fact you knew to be false.”
In another charge, Abdullah faces accusations of forging official documents. Count six states, “On or before February 23, 2023, at an unknown location within Kenya, with intent to defraud, you made a false document titled Reference CBK/BFD/145/BFD-3345, purporting it to be a genuine document issued by the Central Bank of Kenya, a fact you knew to be false.”
Hussein Sheikh Abdullah is also facing related charges in other courts, including the Milimani Law Courts, where he was previously released on bond.
The case will be mentioned on November 25, 2024, in Court 3 for pre-trial directions and submission of documents.
