A former ward representative forged his dead father's signature to unlawfully transfer land to himself and his friend, a detective told a Nakuru Court.

Inspector Stephen Ochieng testified that ex-Kapkures MCA Paul Kimutai and Richard Kipngeno forged title deeds for a 6.6-hectare plot of land in Miti Mingi, Mbarut, within Nakuru County, with the intent to defraud the owner, Josiah Njoroge.
