The prosecution hearing in a criminal case involving businessman Mohamed Osman Abdille continued yesterday at the Makadara Law Courts, where he faces charges including alleged fraud, stealing by servant, money laundering and possession of suspected proceeds of crime.

During the session, the defence objected to the introduction of an auditor’s report presented by a prosecution witness.

Under examination by the prosecution, the witness acknowledged that he was not the author of the report.

The defence argued that the report should be introduced by its author, CPA Hudson Nguu.

The court is set to rule on the objection on 30 April 2026 and provide further directions on the conduct of the hearing.

Abdille has denied the charges and remains free on cash bail as the case continues before Chief Magistrate Kennedy Bidali.
