A man in a fake identity case is seeking justice, for he says he has been in Nairobi for over years doing business. When the matter came before Kahawa Law Courts yesterday, the prosecution, for another time, requested an adjournment, saying they had yet to supply the documents from witnesses who hail from Mandera.
According to them, they are also waiting for a report from the registrar, which is yet to be supplied. The man who says the prosecution is applying delayed tactics and that he has six children, all born in Kenya. He says he is spending more time in courts as an investor, and he has a foundation helping needy children.
The matter had earlier been reported in Kibera Court but was later transferred to Kahawa.
The Weekly News team of investigators has seen a letter from a chief and an area where he conducts business, indicating that he resides in Eastleigh.

He is also charged with giving false information to a District Registrar of Persons, Mandera North Sub-County, to procure a Kenyan National ID.
Further, he is alleged to have been found unlawfully present in Kenya. The prosecution alleges that the accused, on November 10, 2024, at Eastleigh in Nairobi County, being a Somali national, was found to be unlawfully present in Kenya.
According to the prosecution, at the time of arrest, the accused person did not have any valid permit or pass allowing him to stay or remain in Kenya.
The case will proceed on January 14, 2024.
