An officer attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is facing an arrest over his involvement in a Sh150 million fraud case.
Principal Magistrate Hellen Onkwani on Thursday issued a warrant of arrest for Mike Muya, for refusing to release travelling documents of the complainant in the case.
Ryskulov Damir, a Kazakhstani, is yet to be given his documents even after the two people he accused of defrauding him the money was charged.
Upon his failure to appear in court with the passport on Thursday, the magistrate ordered that the officer be arrested and the papers presented before her (the judge)on July 19.
The complainant said that he was defrauded alongside his brother after reaching a business deal with the suspects, in a trade that was to involve tea, coffee and artefacts.
“Together with my brother Yerlan Baimoldin also a businessman we entered into a business agreement with some Kenyans who said they would sell to us Kenyan Tea, coffee and artefacts for which they informed us that they are licensed to deal in such business,” he told the court.
The suspects, Stephen Roberts and Evelyn Adhiambo, have since been remanded for seven days with the third one, Begi Gisicho, still at large.
