According to the charge sheet, Munene took Sh5.5 million from businessman Basma Kosso Abdalla, claiming he could help him import a Toyota Prado. The court heard that Munene said he “had the right connections” to bring the car into the country.
Investigations later showed the claim was false, and the businessman never received the vehicle. Mututhos Son
The alleged fraud happened on September 26 at around 2 p.m. in the Riverside area of Nairobi. Police say Munene knowingly lied about his ability to import the Toyota Prado, with the intention of taking the money.
Munene appeared before a Kibera magistrate, where he denied all the charges. He said he did nothing wrong and asked the court to allow him to defend himself.
The court released him on a Sh1 million bond and set the matter for hearing next month.
Brother Also Linked to Other Fraud Cases
The case has drawn attention because Munene’s brother, Daniel Njenga, has also been mentioned in other fraud matters. Some witnesses believe the brothers may have worked together, but the truth will be decided in court once all evidence is presented.
The case will continue next month for a full hearing, where witnesses will testify and documents will be reviewed. The complainant, Abdalla, says he wants justice and hopes to recover his money.
This case has brought new focus to rising car import scams in Nairobi, where many people have lost money in fake deals involving luxury vehicles like the Toyota Prado.
Residents are now being urged to be careful and verify all deals before paying large amounts.
