Billionaire Jimi Wanjigi Accused of Defrauding Businessman of Sh56 Million

Kenyan billionaire Jimi Wanjigi has been sued by businessman Yogesh Patel for allegedly defrauding him of Sh56 million.

In documents filed in court, Patel accuses Wanjigi, his wife, and their firms of using a shell company to defraud him of the said amount. 

The businessman alleges that Wanjigi and co offered to sell to him a parcel of land in Nairobi's Westlands area and demanded he makes a down payment of Sh56 million.

However, Patel claims that Wanjigi is yet to give him ownership documents for the 0.818-acre piece of land despite making partial payments as agreed. 

He says the sale of the plot was advertised by Aureum Ltd, a firm co-owned by Wanjigi, his wife Irene Nzisa and Augustine Kairo Thuo. 

Patel explains that he was shocked to learn that the parcel, which had been valued at Sh260 million in June 2018, has since been transferred to another person but he is yet to get back his money.

The Daily Nation reports that records show the land in question was transferred to Cissy Kalunde Musembi, a transaction Patel wants reversed in order to get back his money.

The defendants have until June 17th to file their responses to the suit.

And you see them with big smiles showing alot of teeth after defrauding wahindis. These wahindis also defrauded Kenyans along the way so this is just karma.

Mr. Patel, it's unfortunate that you mixed yourself up with Kenya's Lord of procurements and theft of Kenya's goods and services in alliance with foreigners and multi-corporations. But Patel, you can't pretend to be any better than Wanjigi, not at all. Since colonialism in Kenya, your people treated blacks as trash. You behaved and claimed to be superior to the Africans. You're brutal and abusive to your black employees- ask anyone who has worked in an Indian owned duka or furniture shop or industry. You insult and abuse the workers and when they sue, you buy the prosecutors and judges, even the defense attorneys. Indians are the mothers of corruption in Kenya. And it's no secret you hate Africans With passion. We've more Caucasian black marriages in Kenya than black Indian marriages. You will even disown your son's and daughters if they dare intermarry with blacks. All the money you still in Kenya, mainly through evading and cheating on taxes, you take it to Canada, US, Britain and Australia where you and your children live happily there after. Your children go to foreign prestigious schools and universities courtesy of money looted in African countries.

Kama kuna kitu usichokijua akakijua, mwizi hapendi kuibiwa na mwizi mwenzako. Nalidhania ni shillingi hamsini na sita. Eti millioni hamsini na sita. Wakikuyu watafoka..."ngai!" Millioni hamsini na sita na kisha unabakia na mabaki ya mamillioni? Utakapomuona Mwafrika yeyote akiishi maisha ya kifalme, mkwepe..., mkimbie, mtoroke. Itakuwaje mwanaume anamiliki chumba cha kifahari, gari la kifahari, marafiki washukiwa, mavazi ya kifahari, mke wa kimalkia, fikra za kijeuri, miidhiri ya kishetani: shangaa. Huyu Jimmy Wanjigi na Gideon Moi sampuri moja, tofauti kabisa na Jimmy Kibaki. Watoto wa nyoka ni nyoka, hilo sio semo la maskini MjuAji, Wahenga walinena hayo! Patel, kama wahindi wengineo matajiri nchini Kenya, wamo kapuni la ulaji milungura na maadui wa uchumi wa nchi zinazoendelea. Chuki wanazozielekeza kwa binadamu wenye ngozi nyeusi, ni ya kusikitisha ajabu. Patel, Madhani, Shah, na wengine waishio katika miji kama vile Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa nk, na kielelezo na kielekezo cha wageni ambao wangetimuliwa karne tatu zilizopita. Wale ambao wamefanya kazi na Wapakistani na Wahindi watakibonyeza kidole cha kudhibitisha shauri langu. Eneda Nakuru ukutane na Wahindi ambao matamshi na madharao yao dhidi ya Waafrika, "Veve konda, jinga kama mama yako, veve akuna akili hata kidogo, veve hivi mara hiki," ni matamshi yanayo kera moyo, huku viongozi wakiyaramba..... eeh.

Soon, justice will catch up with you at a time when you least expect it! Ask Peruvian Garcia..oops!He's already past tense!
