Chinese national accused of stealing, exporting goat testicles arraigned

Nairobi, Kenya, Mar 16 -The trial of a Chinese national accused of stealing and exporting goat testicles worth Sh6 million is scheduled for April 5.

Court documents allege that Lei Yunyan fraudulently obtained goat testicles valued at Sh6,026,775 from Marsa Goto Ado on diverse dates between September 1, 2021, and November 23, 2022.

The victim, who supplied 804 Kgs of goat testicles and 113.2 kgs of goat parts to Golden Pacific Investments, claims that the company failed to pay despite numerous attempts to collect the money owed.

Yunyan pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on Sh500,000 cash bail or an alternative Sh1 million bond by Senior Principal Magistrate Manuela Kinyanjui in Kiambu court.

The magistrate ordered the accused to surrender her passport and travel documents to the court pending trial.

The prosecution had opposed the accused’s application for bail, citing her foreign status as a potential flight risk. However, Yunyan pleaded with the court to free her on bail, stating that she is pregnant.
