The five suspects charged with conspiracy to defraud the late Mombasa business tycoon, Sheikh Tahir Said (TSS), of Sh8.7 billion eight years ago, have been acquitted.
Yesterday, Mombasa Chief Magistrate Alex Ithukua said the five have no case to answer. He said the prosecution failed to adduce evidence to link James Mwangi, Awey Ahmed, Zahir Abbas Zein Ahmed, and Victor Were to the offence.
