72-year-old Teresia Wanjiku Wainaina was convicted at the Milimani Law Courts on multiple counts of forgery, uttering false documents and forcible detainer, following a protracted investigation into the fraudulent acquisition of land parcels in Ruiru East, Kiambu County.
Detectives established that the convict had forged title deeds and green cards for three parcels of land, and knowingly presented these forged instruments as genuine to investigating officers.
The accused was found guilty of obtaining money by false pretences, obtaining land registration by false pretences, forgery, making a false document, and uttering a false document.
The case arose after a man and his wife were induced by the accused, Reuben Yegon, to purchase land parcel Ngong/Ngong/9748 for Sh1,900,000.
Following the hearing, Dolphina Alego delivered the judgment on August 4, 2026, convicting the accused on all five counts.
