A Nairobi businessman, James Mwangi Kiaritha, told court that a night out with a woman he met at Lavington’s Ibiza Lounge ended in confusion, dizziness, and the alleged loss of Ksh 335,000 from his bank account, after she invited him to her apartment and his memory went “blurred.”
Kiaritha discovered the missing funds the following morning when multiple unauthorized M-Pesa transactions had been made to a number registered under the accused, Lora Odero, who has denied the charges and is currently out on bail.
The businessman further testified that he had checked Lora’s name online and found prior mentions in other legal cases, which prompted him to avoid any private settlement, insisting he never authorizes payments to people he just met.
Ladies, please stop ‘beating’ your faces too damn much
