A businessman has been charged at the Milimani Law Courts with stealing 7,700 cartons of Gil Oil bar soap valued at KSh10.2 million.

Ahmed Dawe Dime is accused of committing the offence between December 24, 2025 and May 16, 2026 at Moyale Wholesellers Limited stores along North Airport Road in Embakasi, Nairobi County.

Dime appeared before Milimani Senior Resident Magistrate Paul Mutai, where he pleaded not guilty to the charge.

According to the charge sheet, Dime allegedly acted jointly with others who have not been brought before court and stole the soap, said to be the property of Hussein Hirbo Galcha.

The prosecution has also preferred an alternative charge of handling stolen goods.

Dime is accused of dishonestly receiving and retaining 424 cartons of Gil Oil bar soap at Moyale Trading Centre in Moyale County on May 18, 2026, while knowing or having reason to believe that the goods were stolen.

He has been released on a cash bail of KSh 400,000.
