A city businessman has moved to court seeking over Sh26.95 million in compensation for wrongful prosecution and detention of his Range Rover for nearly eight years.

Businessman Bryan Yongo Otumba and Wayaga Construction Company Limited have filed a petition before the Milimani High Court accusing the State, Mwananchi Credit Limited and its director Dennis Mwangeka Mombo of malicious prosecution, false imprisonment and unlawful detention of the vehicle.

In a plaint filed on August 22, 2026, Yongo says the dispute arose from a Sh4 million loan advanced by Mwananchi Credit on November 24, 2016, and secured by his Range Rover Autobiography, registration number KCH 856A.
