Nelson Ogega Matoke was arraigned in court today with obtaining six Samsung phones and Two iPhone 13 pro max valued at Kes 1.2 million from one Alex Ndungu Gakimo pretending he was in a position to pay a fact he knew to be false.
He was also charged with making a false title deed of land in Kajiado purporting it to have originated from the registrar of land with intention of using it as a security to obtain the phones.
The prosecution, however, informed the court that the accused person has another similar case before Kiambu Law Courts. According to the ODPP, Mr Matoke has a pending warrant of arrest before Kiambu which was issued on August 30, 2022.
He was expected to appear before Kiambu Law courts on August 2022 but he had been at large.
In a quick rebuttal, the defence informed the court that Mr Matoke faces a bailable offence and therefore pleaded for a lenient bail and bond terms.
” Your honour, the offence the accused is facing before you is bailable and we, therefore, plead that this court releases the accused person on reasonable cash bail.”
The court persuaded by the defence, released the accused person on a bond of Kes 400,000.
