Three individuals, Abdul Razak Rehan, Mohammed Amin Suleiman, and Ebrahim Ahmed Ebrahim, appeared before the Milimani Law Courts on charges related to defrauding a Pakistani national of more than Ksh 116 million.
The alleged scam involved enticing the victim with lucrative opportunities in the scrap metal and car battery industries upon his arrival in Kenya. Ebrahim Ahmed Ebrahim purportedly instructed the victim to establish a company, demanding Ksh 7 million for the registration process.
The victim handed over the funds to Mohammed Amin Suleiman and Abdul Razak Rehan Shul, who posed as officials—a registrar of companies accountant and a personal assistant to the Deputy President respectively. Subsequently, the victim was coerced into making additional payments for expenses such as warehouse rent, scrap metal purchases, customs duties, and permits.
When authorities investigated, they discovered that the permits issued were counterfeit and not issued by any legitimate government entity. Following meticulous analysis of financial transactions and tracking their movements, the suspects were apprehended.
At the Milimani Law Courts, Abdul Razak Rehan, Mohammed Amin Suleiman, and Ebrahim Ahmed Ebrahim pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud. Each was granted a Ksh 5 million bond plus one surety. The case is set for mention on September 9, 2024.
