On July 10, 2020, Eric Agolla Lugalia, a Kenya Airways pilot, appeared before Milimani Resident Magistrate Muthoni Nzibe, charged with shilling 250 million land fraud and forgery.
According to the charges, Lugalia allegedly forged a certificate of title dated August 2, 2005, purporting it to be a genuine certificate of title issued by the Ministry of Lands, a fact he knew was false.
He is also accused of jointly with others not before court, forging a signature of Peter Mburu Ng'ang'a on a certain document, namely certificate of title entry No. 4 dated March 17, 2015, purporting it to be a genuine entry signed by Ng'ang'a, a registrar of titles at Ardhi House in Nairobi.
Additionally, Lugalia is accused of forging a signature of Jonathan Kipkemboi Toroitich on a sale agreement dated January 15, 2015, purporting it to be a genuine transfer document signed by Toroitich.
He was released on a bond of shilling 300,000 or alternative cash bail of 150,000 pending hearing and determination of the fraud case.
