A businessman has been charged with forgery and giving false information to the police.
Controversial businessman Chrisantus Philip Okeyo Obure is accused of forging a Binding Board Resolution, purporting it to have been stamped and signed by Chandul Shah, a Director of AC & Others Ltd.
The accused is alleged to have committed the offense on diverse dates between 12th June 2017 and 9th October 2023 at unknown place, with intent to defraud AC & Others Company Limited.
In another count, Obure is charged with giving false information to a police officer.
According to the charge sheet, the businessman informed Chief Inspector Geoffrey Ndatho that he had an agreement for sale of a building known as Senteu Plaza located on LR.NO.1/1373 with the Directors of AC & Others Ltd based on a Binding Board Resolution purportedly confirmed receipt by way of signing by Director Shah and bearing a purported official stamp of the said company, which information he knew to be false and likely to cause the said officer to act on against the interests of justice.
It is alleged that Obure committed this offense on 9th February 2024 at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Headquarters, Serious Crimes Unit in Nairobi.
The accused is also facing a charge of conspiracy to commit the offense of forgery and uttering a forged document.
