A Nairobi court has issued a warrant of arrest for a Cameroonian and a Kenyan national in a Sh 13 million fraud case for failing to appear in court.

Mohammed Annour Sadate and Gilbert Omollo Orwe alias David Gweth were to appear in court on 11th March 2026 for plea taking but failed to do so.

The duo is accused of obtaining USD 101,400 (Apprx. Sh 13,000,000) from Sardar Mohamad Tabraiz by falsely pretending that they were in a position to sell to him 2,000Kgs of gold, a fact they knew to be false.

It is alleged that the offense was committed on diverse dates between 6th April and 30th June 2022 in Nairobi, jointly with others not before court and with intent to defraud.

Orwe is also facing several other charges of making documents without authority.

The documents include a copy of a rejection letter for export purporting it to be a valid and genuine document issued by Kenya Revenue Authority.

There was also an endorsement risk insurance policy cover note from BTB Anto Insurance Brokers Ltd purporting it to be a valid and genuine document issued by BTB Auto Insurance Brokers Ltd.

Others include a copy of a certificate of origin No. 8796 dated purporting it to be a valid and genuine document issued by East African Community Customs COMESA and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) documents.

The two are also charged with conspiracy to defraud Tabraiz the said money, jointly with others not before court.
