Authorities charged a man on Friday, May 24, with forging a title deed and signatures, including those of the late Jonathan Kipkemboi Toroitich, son of former President Daniel arap Moi, to acquire a Kes.250 million piece of land in Karen, Nairobi.<\/p>\n
Eric Ogola Lugalia, as a 39-year-old pilot, denied 11 counts of creating false documents, forgery, and presenting false documents to a police officer at the land fraud department of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).<\/p>\n
The charges claim Mr. Lugalia created a false document intending to defraud Stuart Gerald Cullinan Herd of parcel IR No1160\/308 (Original No1160\/248\/2), located along Bogani Road and measuring 1.970 hectares.<\/p>\n
The pilot also faced charges of producing a false certificate of title IR No.99256 LR No.1160\/308 (Original No.1160\/248\/2) dated August 2, 2005.<\/p>\n
Further accusations state Mr. Lugalia falsely represented the certificate as a genuine one issued by the Ministry of Lands, despite knowing it was false.<\/p>\n
According to the prosecution, Lugalia forged the signatures of three land registrars \u2013 Fredric Indoko Lubullelah, George Gichimu Gichihi, and Peter Mburu Ng\u2019ang\u2019a, all stationed at Ardhi House, Nairobi.<\/p>\n
The court heard he also forged the signature of the late son of former President Daniel arap Moi on a sale agreement dated January 15, 2015.<\/p>\n
Another charge alleged he forged Mr. Toroitich\u2019s signature on the land transfer instrument dated March 12, 2015.<\/p>\n
The accused allegedly claimed this transfer document was genuine, attested by Sonye J. Ondari, an advocate of the High Court.<\/p>\n
On July 1, Mr. Lugalia presented the forged certificate, sale agreement, and transfer document to Sergeant Lawson Shuma at the DCI headquarters along Kiambu Road.<\/p>\n
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges before Milimani Principal Magistrate Muthoni Nzibe.<\/p>\n
His lawyers requested reasonable bail terms, citing a pending High Court civil case regarding the land\u2019s ownership.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis case commenced while there is a pending superior court case to determine the true owner since both Lugalia and Herd claim to be the bona fide owner,\u201d the magistrate stated.<\/p>\n
State prosecutor Winnie Moraa did not oppose the bail application.<\/p>\n
Ms. Nzibe granted Mr. Lugalia release on a Kes.300,000 bond with one surety or Kes.150,000 cash bail.<\/p>\n
The magistrate rejected a request to bar the media from reporting on his arraignment.<\/p>\n
The court scheduled the case\u2019s mention for July 21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
