Principal Magistrate Erick Mutunga of the Makadara Law Courts has issued an arrest warrant for Stella Mwikali, a 20-year-old woman accused of stealing USD5,000 and Sh20,000 from her boyfriend. Mwikali, who allegedly claimed her boyfriend was “stingy” and did not provide financial support despite their three-month relationship, was reportedly found with the stolen suitcase at her house at the time of her arrest on November 27, 2023.
Mwikali faces charges of stealing contrary to section 268 (2) of the Penal Code. She is also accused of stealing from MD Labu Kazi, a foreigner she has been dating since his arrival in Kenya.
Mwikali is charged alongside her friend Kalekye Mumo and two men who allegedly helped them change the dollars into Kenyan money. The two other individuals are Charles Wambua and Moses Kilonzi.
Ms Mumo faces separate charges of handling stolen property after she was allegedly found with Kazi’s suitcase at her house in Pipeline Estate in Embakasi, Nairobi. She is accused of dishonestly retaining in the course of stealing, knowing, or having reasons to believe it was stolen.
All four individuals have denied the theft charges. However, the warrant against Stella Mwikali was issued after she failed to appear in court to plead to the charges.
The authorities are urging Mwikali to surrender herself to the nearest police station or face immediate arrest.
