A Nairobi court yesterday summoned four former directors of Chase Bank to appear in court to plead to the charges of conspiring to defraud the bank more than Sh1.6 billion. Milimani senior principal magistrate Martha Mutuku issued the summons for Abdul Ahmed, Ghanrish Omar, Amiran Claudia and Mohammed Khan after their lawyer Cecil Miller opposed prosecution application asking court to issue warrant of arrest against the suspects for failing to appear in court for plea taking.
Miller requested the court not to issue arrest warrant against his clients, saying they did not deliberately fail to attend court since they had previously presented themselves to Banking Fraud Investigation Units (BFI) investigators for purpose of taking their finger prints and recording their statements before pleading to the charges.
