Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Nathan Lloyd Ndung\u2019u, the owner of the now defunct DN International, a real estate development company, has been arrested in Nairobi over a fraud case he faces in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Kenya’s Business Daily, which is owned by Nation Media Group, Ndung\u2019u was arrested this week as he arrived in Nairobi from a foreign country.<\/p>\n

He is a subject of an Interpol Red Notice following a case in which he was tried in Rwanda and sentenced in absentia to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

This was after he was convicted of defrauding property buyers from a real estate project by his company.<\/p>\n

Ndung\u2019u, whose firm DN International was involved with at least two residential housing projects, fled Rwanda in 2011 after an investigation was commissioned over fraud allegations.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that he was arrested as he landed from the US and was presented before a Nairobi court on Wednesday, February 2.<\/p>\n

The Kenyan prosecution, led by Catherine Mwaniki, made an application to detain him at the Inland Container Depot Police Station for 21 days, pending a formal extradition request from Rwanda.<\/p>\n

However, through his lawyers, he opposed the detention, saying he should be released on bail.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor opposed his release saying he was a flight risk given he had left Kenya while an international arrest warrant was issued.<\/p>\n

The prosecution argued that with dual citizenship [Kenyan and American], Ndung\u2019u might head back to the US.<\/p>\n

Milimani Court Senior principal magistrate Bernard Ochoi is set to rule on the application on February 4.<\/p>\n

The background<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2010, DN International embarked on a project that would see the firm complete construction of over 50 residential housing units valued at Rwf75 million each.<\/p>\n

The new homeowners, some of whom had made prior down payment, were promised to have their houses by the end of that year.<\/p>\n

However the company\u2019s project dubbed \u2018Green Park Villas\u2019, was never completed and Ndung\u2019u fled the country.<\/p>\n

When the company folded, as a financier of the project, KCB seized the incomplete estate in an effort to recover a loan worth Rwf1.5 billion the developer had taken to fund the estate.<\/p>\n

But the bank did not take care of paying those who supplied construction materials or the prospective homeowners who had made down payment on the houses.<\/p>\n

As a result, people who had delivered supplies and those who bought homes from the defunct DN International launched a lawsuit against the real estate developer.<\/p>\n

The case also involved Kenya Commercial Bank and Rwanda Development Board (RDB) who demanded for over Rwf780 million in compensation.<\/p>\n
