Businessman Martin Munene Njenga found himself entangled in a legal quagmire, facing charges related to fraudulent activities and the alleged acquisition of Ksh 8 million through deceptive means.
The ordeal commenced with a complaint lodged at the Kilimani Nairobi Directorate of Criminal Investigations. On October 12th, Njenga was apprehended by law enforcement authorities in connection with these accusations.
Subsequently, he appeared before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina, where he was formally charged with one count of obtaining money by false pretense, an offense outlined in section 313 of the penal code.
During the court proceedings, Martin Munene Njenga entered a plea of not guilty. The magistrate granted him a relatively modest cash bail amounting to Ksh 100,000, with the additional requirement of providing one contact person as a condition for his release.
The State Prosecutor detailed the allegations, contending that on March 15, 2023, within the Lavington area in Dagoreti sub-county, Nairobi County, the accused, Martin Munene Njenga, in collaboration with individuals not currently before the court, engaged in a complex scheme with the intention of defrauding another party.
They purportedly secured Ksh 8 million from Agnes Wairimu by falsely representing their ability to import a Range Rover motor vehicle. However, this representation was subsequently determined to be false, as the accused could not fulfill this commitment.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Martin Munene Njenga’s case will be subject to close scrutiny, and the court will diligently work to ascertain his guilt or innocence in connection with the alleged fraudulent activity.
