A Nairobi court on Wednesday acquitted businessman Abass Bandru, who had been charged in a multi-million shilling gold fraud case.
Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Robinson Ondieki found that the prosecution had failed to produce sufficient evidence against Abbas Badru Omuyoma, also known as Yuri Sande Ismael.
While testifying in his defence, Omuyoma told the court that although discussions over a gold transaction took place, the deal later collapsed after disagreements emerged between the parties involved.
He maintained that no money was ever paid directly to him, explaining that his role was limited to that of an intermediary agent.
“I provided an invoice based on an understanding that I would be paid as an agent, but to date, I have never received any money, directly or indirectly,” Omuyoma told the court.
He further claimed that any funds linked to the transaction were wired to an escrow arrangement involving entities known as Blue Creek and Jason, and not to him personally.
