A man was arraigned in Court and charged with impersonating an advocate of the High Court and obtaining money by false pretence.
Craedius Nyamwange Oigara appeared before Magistrate Benmark Ekhubi, however, pleaded not guilty to three counts of impersonation and fraudulently obtaining money.
He was released on a cash bail of Ksh 300,000 with an alternative bond of Ksh 500,000.
The prosecution alleges that between April 13 and April 15, 2023, Oigara attempted to defraud James Njukia Thura, who trades as Munyota Trading Investment Limited, of Ksh 1,600,000.
The accused reportedly misled Thura into believing he was capable of executing an eviction service order issued by a Mavoko Law Court, associated with ELC case number E of 057 of 2022—a claim he allegedly knew to be false.
In a separate incident on April 5, 2023, at a central business district in Nairobi, Oigara, along with accomplices not yet named or present in court, allegedly attempted to defraud another victim, James Njukia Ihuria, of Ksh 1,600,000 by falsely presenting himself as an advocate.
The matter will proceed on the 15th of October for pre trial directions.
