A man has been charged with drugging a customer at an eatery in Kasarani, Nairobi, before withdrawing Sh849,000 from three bank accounts after stealing his phone.
Mr. Bosco Mungai Njiraini is accused of dragging Mr Fredrick Sang and stealing his money.
Mr. Njiraini is also accused of dragging Mr Sang and taking money and a mobile phone worth Sh250,000 on March 12.
He is also charged with conspiracy to conduct a crime for allegedly conspiring with others at large to take the items from Mr Sang.
One of Mr Njiraini’s accomplices was charged with similar offences on Monday last week.
Mr Sang was enjoying drinks at a restaurant with friends when he was joined by a familiar woman.
After drinking for a while, Mr Sang left the restaurant with the woman after she requested him to drop her at her residence in Thome estate within Kasarani.
The complainant woke up the next day and found himself alone inside his car parked at a petrol station in Thome estate. The woman was missing.
His two phones, national identity card and two ATM cards were also missing. He proceeded to work.
His colleagues informed him that his phones were on but calls were going unanswered.
He obtained bank statements and discovered that Sh849,000 had been withdrawn from his bank accounts.
The money was transferred to different mobile phone numbers via M-Pesa.
