Principal Magistrate Erick Mutunga of the Makadara Law Courts has issued a warrant of arrest towards Stella Mwikali aged 20.
Mwaikali was accused of stealing USD5,000 and Sh20,000 from her boyfriend, whom she refers to as “stingy,”.
She alleged he did not provide any financial support despite their three-month relationship.
Mwikali was allegedly found with the suitcase at her house at the time of her arrest on November 27, 2023.
Mwikali is facing charges of stealing contrary to section 268 (2) of the Penal Code, where she is accused of stealing from MD Labu Kazi, a foreigner she has been dating after he arrived in the country.
She is charged alongside her friend Kalekye Mumo and two men who allegedly helped them change the dollars into Kenyan money.
The two others are Charles Wambua and Moses Kilonzi.
Ms Mumo is separately charged with handling stolen property after she was allegedly found with Kazi’s suitcase at her house in Pipeline Estate in Embakasi, Nairobi.
She is accused of dishonestly retaining in the course of stealing, knowing, or having reasons to believe it was stolen.
They were accused of stealing the cash on November 10, 2023, which they all denied.
The warrant against Stella Mwikali was issued after she failed to turn up in court to plead to theft charges.
