A woman accused of defrauding a businesswoman of Ksh.36
million has been released on a Ksh.3 million cash bail.
Lilian Wangui Odwoma, alias Lilian Weru, appeared before
Magistrate Dolphina Alego on Monday, where she denied the charges.
The court was told that between May 6 and May 20, 2024, in
Westlands, Nairobi, the accused conspired with others not before the court to
defraud Elizabeth Wanjiku Muigai of USD 50,000 and Ksh.30 million.
She is alleged to have falsely claimed she could help the
complainant secure a standby letter of credit from Pacific Concord
International FZC in Dubai.
Wangui also faced two additional counts relating to the
acquisition and use of proceeds of crime.
Through her lawyer, John Swaka, she pleaded for leniency,
citing ill health.
The case will be mentioned on September 16, 2025.
