Elvis Ouma Muga is not new within the ranks of detectives, investigators, and judges in Nairobi, Kenya, thanks to his appetite and high affinity for fraud.
Ouma is linked to multiple gold frauds, and according to detectives, he is a dangerous man to deal with. Be warned.
Court documents state that he goes by the alias Mr. Nick.
He was accused of conspiring with others who were not present in court to defraud Bernhard Ten Brinke on a number of occasions between September 1, 2020, and January 21, 2021, by pretending to be running a genuine gold sales business in Nairobi. This allowed him to provide Brinke with 500 kilograms of gold at USD 1,567,120, or Sh 170,816,734.
Not in front of the court on January 15, 2021, he was also accused of obtaining the aforementioned funds in concert with others in the same court.
Despite the accused’s appearance in court on Monday for the case hearing, the prosecution postponed the hearing until July 12 for a fourth hearing.

The case will proceed after two weeks.
