A woman has been embroiled in a court battle with his brother over ownership of property worth Sh 100 million.
Zahra Pote has told a Mombasa court that her brother, Noor Mohamed, tried to plant bullets on her to get her arrested.
Ms Pote has alleged that her brother forged documents that he used to withdraw money from their mother’s account with a local bank and to process a fake title deed in his name.
Mr Mohamed is charged with illegal ownership of ammunition and giving false information to police.
Pote testified that before his arrest, her brother, who is facing a separate forgery charge, lied to police that she and her husband, American Mark Allen Pote, had given him a container with suspicious contents.
The court heard that police found the bullets in a container in Mohamed’s room. The witness admitted that police questioned her and her husband about who was the real owner of the container in question and absolved them. “I was never arrested by the police because of the container.
I was only detained for some time before being released,” said Pote.
