City businessman Stephen Mark Oduk has been charged before a Nairobi court with being in possession of 100 million in fake US dollars in an ongoing gold scam.
Oduk, who appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi on Friday, denied two counts of being in possession of papers for forgery and preparation to commit a felony.
The charges against him state that on September 25, 2019 at Plan 254 Restaurant on Nyangumi Road Kilimani in Nairobi county, without lawful authority or exercise, he had in his possession 1, 000,000 papers intended to resemble papers used in making currency of United States 100 Dollar bill.
In the second count, Oduk was accused that on similar dates and place, he was found in possession of one million papers intended to resemble and pass as special papers such as provided and used in making currency of United States 100 Dollar bill.
The flamboyant businessman was arrested on September 26, 2019 at his Plan 254 club inNairobi’s Kilimani area.
It is said that during the raid at his club, the DCI sleuths recovered other items that include 147 bars of fake gold in the early morning raid.
The black notes were in denominations of USD 100 and were discovered alongside four portable safes that were locked.
