A rogue Chinese national has been charged with Sh 5. 5Million fraud syndicate at a Nairobi Milimani court.
Zhu Wanbin was charged before Milimani Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi where he denied the wrongdoings.
The court heard that on 29th and 30th December 2023 at the Equity Bank Limited Mama Ngina branch in Nairobi within Nairobi County, with intent to defraud, the accused obtained Sh5.5 million from Abdiaziz Abdullahi Mohamed contrary to the law.
He is alleged to have fraudulently obtained the millions by false pretence that he was in a position to supply him with 25,000 pieces of Gotel mobile phones; a fact he knew to be false.
The court heard that Wanbin is a foreigner and is a flight risk.
The defense lawyer however told the court that the accused person had been living in Kenya for 7 years and had lower chances of fleeing the country.
