A businessman has sued a Chinese national for allegedly defrauding him Sh20 million.

She allegedly promised to sell him JDW Aluminum Limited, a construction company.

Chen Yun was charged with the offence of conspiring to defraud and obtaining by false pretence before Kibera Principal Magistrate Renee Kitagwa where she denied the charges.

The court heard that in the first count, the accused person jointly with others conspired to defraud Isaac Kipkemboi Towett of Sh20,235,000.

He allegedly obtained the said amount from him later.

The prosecution through counsel Violet Ombati filed an application opposing the accused person from being released on bond.

The application was sworn by police constable Denis Miheso, a DCI, detective attached to Kilimani police station.

In his application, Miheso told the court that the accused person lacked a fixed abode or a form of permanent employment she was a flight risk.

The magistrate, however, released her on a Sh3 million bond with an alternative cash bail of Sh2 million.

The case will be mentioned later this month
