Stanley Kinyanjui Njuguna, the director of Zealous Adventure, has been brought before the court facing serious charges of fraud and issuing bad cheques. He is accused of deceiving Vijaykumar Pasupulati Bihmrao of Profresh Limited into believing that he could import a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from Japan, a claim he allegedly knew was untrue.
This fraudulent activity reportedly took place on August 23, 2016, at the CFC Stanbic Bank’s Upper Hill branch in Nairobi County. Additionally, Njuguna faces charges for issuing multiple cheques on November 16, 2016, totaling Sh900,000 and Sh200,000 to Profresh Limited, despite having instructed the bank not to honor these cheques. These offenses are said to have occurred on October 26, 2016, at the Sankara Shell petrol station in Westlands, Nairobi.
During the court proceedings, Njuguna denied all eleven charges before Senior Principal Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot. His lawyer argued that the cheques were post-dated, which justified their issuance at the same location, and emphasized that the events in question occurred in 2016, with ongoing communication between the involved parties.
The magistrate granted Njuguna bail, setting a bond of Sh1 million with a surety of the same amount or an alternative cash bail of Sh100,000.
