NAIROBI: Mohamed Osman Abdille, the former General Manager of a prominent Eastleigh shopping mall, was arraigned before Makadara Law Courts on Monday to answer to a massive KSh 296 million fraud syndicate.

A seven-year forensic audit (2018–2024) presented by the prosecution detailed a systematic siphoning of funds.

The audit concluded that the mall lost a staggering Sh296,069,084 under Abdille’s watch.

The court heard that the funds were funneled through Fatzam Enterprises Limited, a company linked to the suspect.

From there, the money was moved via fraudulent transactions to multiple other firms to mask the paper trail.

Other than that, Mr Abdille faces over 30 counts, including: Stealing by Servant (as a high-ranking employee), conspiracy to Commit a Felony, and Money laundering among many more counts.

Chief Magistrate Kennedy Bidali has designated the matter as a priority case.

Formal hearings are scheduled for April 28 and 30, and May 21, 2026.
