An advocate of the High Court of Kenya who had been on the run after failing to appear in court to answer charges linked to an alleged Sh69,024,800 gold scam has been arraigned before the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Milimani.

The suspect, Alphonce Collins Odoyo Osewe, was arrested by detectives from the DCI Nairobi Regional Office within the precincts of the Milimani Law Courts pursuant to a warrant of arrest issued after he failed to honour court summons.

He is charged with Obtaining Money by False Pretences, contrary to Section 313 of the Penal Code. It is alleged that he jointly obtained Sh69,024,800 from a complainant by falsely pretending that he and an accomplice were in a position to sell gold bars.

The warrant of arrest was issued after the suspect failed to appear before the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Milimani on October 23, 2025, to take plea, leading to the forfeiture of the cash bail previously deposited.

Following his arrest, the suspect was presented before the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Milimani, where he pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The court ordered that he be remanded in custody pending the determination of his bail application
