In a brazen scheme that stunned court attendees, a businesswoman has been arraigned in court over allegations that she lured a Kenya Air Force officer to a guest house along Mirema Drive, drugged him, locked him inside a room and later stole his mobile phone before allegedly transferring more than Sh700,000 from his bank-linked and mobile money accounts.
Ann Munanye Mulelo, who is also linked to a separate phone theft case, appeared in court facing theft-related charges alongside an alleged accomplice.
Court papers indicate that on May 12, 2026, Mulelo, jointly with others not before the court, allegedly stole a Samsung Galaxy Flip Fold 4 phone valued at Sh44,000 and transferred Sh719,744 from the complainant, identified as John Paul (not his real name), within Kasarani Sub-County.
The court heard that the complainant met Mulelo at Alphaker Lounge along Mirema Drive, where they shared drinks in the company of friends before later proceeding to a guest room at their own volition.
He later told investigators that he suddenly lost consciousness shortly after arriving at the room. When he woke up at about 12:50am, his mobile phone was missing, Mulelo was gone and he found himself locked inside the room, with the keys placed on a window ledge.
