Ann Nyokabi, Nickson Kimani and Lucy Ikiao Kaari are accused of jointly obstructing inspector Thomas Odek from seizing Makari De Suisse products from Ideal Beauty Shop and ordered for the goods already entered in the inventory to be returned into the shop and had ordered it locked.
The three are alleged to have committed the offence on 27th September 2018 at the said beauty shop located at Perida Business center Building along Duboise Road in Nairobi.
Nyokabi and Kimani were also charged with obstructing Inspector Odek and ordered Kaari who is the owner of the shop not to sign the inventory of seized goods.
Kaari also faced a lone charge of refusing to sign the inventory of seized goods after being requested to do so by Odek.
They denied the charges before Senior Principal Magistrate Martha Mutuku.
Their lawyer John Ogada requested the court to lift the warrants of arrest which had been issued against his client to be lifted.
Ogada told the court that his client were not aware they were required to appear in court.
“My clients have presented themselves in court voluntarily and were no aware they were required to appear in court neither were they issued with any summons,” Ogada submitted.
