Man in Court Over KSh 4.1M Car Sale Scam in Nairobi

A man found himself in the dock at Milimani Law Courts on Friday after allegedly conning another individual out of KSh 4.1 million in a bogus car sale scheme that has raised eyebrows in Nairobi’s growing web of white-collar fraud.

Highlights:

  • Suspect accused of defrauding KSh 4.1M in fake car sale
  • Case presented before Milimani Law Courts on Friday
  • Victim reportedly paid the money believing it was for a legitimate purchase
  • Authorities continuing investigations into the alleged scam

Main Story:

A suspect was formally charged at the Milimani Law Courts on Friday over claims that he tricked a buyer into paying KSh 4.1 million for a vehicle that was never delivered. The court heard that the accused posed as a legitimate car dealer and convinced the victim to part with the hefty sum under the pretense of securing a vehicle.

According to court documents, the buyer made the payment in good faith but was later met with excuses and delays, before realizing he had been conned. Efforts to recover the money or trace the promised vehicle proved futile, prompting legal action.

The prosecution requested more time for investigations and to determine whether the suspect may have been part of a larger syndicate targeting unsuspecting car buyers. The accused denied the charges and was released on bond, with the case set for mention at a later date.

In a market where appearances can be deceiving, trusting too quickly could cost you more than just your dream car.
