Mr Emmanuel Soita at Kibera Law courts on November 5, 2021.
A teacher who allegedly conned a woman out of Sh1.3 million has been charged with obtaining money by false pretenses.
Emanuel Soita allegedly promised Ms Zebedy Amustsama a Kenya Defense Forces slot for her daughter.
Appearing before Kibera Law Courts, Mr Soita was accused of receiving Sh1,355,700 from Ms Amustsama on diverse dates between January 10 and March 5 promising the KDF job which he knew was false.
The court heard that the accused claimed to be a KDF officer of the rank of captain. He claimed that he was involved in the recruitment process.
The suspect, who is said to have received the facilitation fee via M-Pesa, later reportedly delivered a fake recruitment letter.
The accused denied the charges before Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Derrick Kutto.
He was released on a bond of Sh500,000 and an alternative cash bail of Sh300,000.
The case will be mentioned on November 22.
