Missing oil tycoon Ann Njoroge has emerged in Mombasa County, days after being reported missing.

Njoroge was captured alongside her lawyer, Cliff Ombeta, who confirmed her whereabouts. 

The duo was captured walking into the Mombasa Law Courts minutes past noon.

The oil tycoon who is embroiled in a Ksh17 billion oil importation saga was reported missing last week after visiting the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Kiambu Road.

According to reports, Njoroge had been directed to record a statement with authorities by Energy Davis Chirchir after claiming ownership of diesel worth Ksh17 billion imported into the country.

Ombeta had claimed that she was then taken to an unknown location by the police.

DCI is yet to respond to the allegations. 

However, according to Chirchir, the consignment was imported by another company. The Cabinet Secretary stated that the government would work with various agencies to establish the owner of the consignment.

"The consignment was brought in by a company called Galana and it has been discharged. So, we want to know the truth but the case is in court at the moment," the CS stated during a tree-planting exercise in Baringo County on Monday.

On the other hand, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) flagged documents indicating the businesswoman as the owner of the consignment as fake. 

The oil had been imported from Saudi Arabia on 26th September and landed in Mombasa on September 30, 2023.

''The consignees and their respective portions of the bulk cargo are listed in the Manifest submitted by the Ship's Agent and KPA confirms that the businesswoman's Import and Export Enterprises Limited is not one of the manifested consignees,'' KPA stated.
