Woman Disowns ‘Son’ in Court Drama
A witness has left the court in awe after confirming that her alleged son is a stranger and that she met him for the first time in court.
Fatuma Mohamed who hails from Burat, Isiolo County, told the court that she met the accused person during the hearing on Monday.
Abdihakim Said Jama who claimed to be Fatuma’s son was charged last year with Obtaining registration by pretenses and being unlawfully present in Kenya.
Fatuma produced a list of names of her 8 children and told the court that the accused name was not familiar to her hence disowning being even related by blood.
Fatuma explained to the court how the government officers visited her at home in June last year produced photos of a man and enquired whether I knew him,
“On watching the photos I did not recognize him and he was not my son,” Fatuma denied.
Another witness, Abdi Aliow Issak, a businessman and a member of the vetting committee of the Ngare Mara area location denied taking part in a meeting purported to have taken place in the area where vetting of applicants of National Identity cards was held where the accused person claims to have been vetted and approved in 2011.
The witness told the court that he had also not signed the documents produced in court which bear the names of Abdi Alio, and he informed the court that he always signs all official documents with his three full names, Abdi Alio Issak and not two as in the document presented before the court.
Jama was charged that between March and June 2011, in Isiolo within Isiolo County in the Republic of Kenya, he gave false information to a person employed in the public service for presenting false documents to the chief to procure a Kenyan Identity.
He was claiming to be the son of Fatuma Mohammed whose copy of the National identification card was produced to the office of the registrar of persons.
Further, the accused person presented his obtained Identity card and forged birth certificate entry No. L00906313/13 and serial number 4208657 which belongs to another person.
