A blow to businessman Brian Yongo as the court finds him with a case to answer for threatening to kill the case.
City Debt Collector Brian Yongo has suffered another blow as the court puts him on his defence in the case of threatening to kill a businessman.
Milimani Law Courts Magistrate Paul Mutai was informed that Yongo will be calling 2 witnesses to testify in this defence.
In the case, Yongo is charged with threatening to kill city businessman Rajendra Sanghani.
Yongo has since denied the claims, but according to the police, on April 12, 2024, he threatened to kill Rajendra, the managing director of Granada Trading Company.
It is alleged that he uttered very harsh words to the complainant, suggesting that he would send goons to execute him and that he had powerful people in the government who would protect him.
The prosecution claim that in April at an unknown place within the Republic of Kenya, he uttered words to wit, “My friend in Spring Valley there, I want to send you visitors. Tonight don’t sleep. I want to show you… You say you were shot in the eye; I want to show you I know people who shoot… I swear upon my mother, this one, even Sonko will not help you…”
Yongo was further charged with another count of cyber harassment for sending offensive messages to the said businessman suggesting that his wife was having an affair with other men.
Yongo denied all the counts and pleaded with the court to grant him lenient terms.
