An elderly Nairobi businessman has been charged before a Nairobi court over allegations of defrauding two daughters of a deceased industrialist of their Westlands property valued at Sh150 million.
John Kigomo Mwaura appeared before Milimani Principal Magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo on May 18, 2026, where he denied 12 counts of various economic crimes, including conspiracy to defraud, forgery, making documents without authority, uttering forged documents, trespass, and obtaining land registration by false pretences.
The charges relate to a maisonette on a 0.1178-hectare parcel of land in Westlands, Nairobi, property belonging to Sabahatt Shokatali Habib and Sadaff Shokatali Habib, daughters of the late industrialist Shokatali Gulam Hussein Habib.
