Today an alleged serial fraudster who has been frustrating business people from different parts of the country posing as a potential business partner was arraigned in court after being on the DCI radar for over seven years.
Teresia Wanjiru Boro who allegedly disappeared into thin air after she was released on bond in 2017 by Thika Law Courts was re-arrested at Milimani Law court shortly after the same court released her on another charge.
The suspect Teresia had been released by Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina citing irregularities in the charge sheet.
However, the prosecution moved with speed and amended the charge sheet charging her with various counts of obtaining money by false pretences.
She is accused of obtaining Ksh 1.145M from Bernard Ngirita in 2024 by falsely pretending that she was financing purchase of dry maize from Eldoret.
In a separate charge, she is accused of defrauding Eva Waithera Ksh 3.8M using the same fraudulent scheme.
Further, she is accused of obtaining Ksh 581,000 from David Kamau Kimemia by falsely pretending she was financing purchase of dry maize from Eldoret.
She was charged alongside Hosea Munge Mbugua who allegedly obtained Ksh 4,350,000 from Bernard Ngirita using the same fraudulent means of purchasing dry maize from Eldoret.
Appearing before Chief Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina, the suspects denied the charges and Hosea was released on Ksh 500,000 bond.
Teresia was denied bond after the prosecution opposed her release saying that she jumped bail in 2017 after she was released by Thika Law Courts.
The court remanded her in police custody pending a report by the probation officer.
