Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga’s homes have been on spotlight of police following the recovery of firearms in one of the houses.
On May 12, Njenga alleged that three of his homes in Nairobi, Nakuru and Laikipia were raided by the police, and that he himself doesn’t know why the raid was done to an innocent person.
Detectives in Nakuru have have been implicating a serious crimes in the area with the discovery of two firearms and 90 roles of bhang in a house, in Nakuru, to the former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga.
“One of the firearms recovered was a home-made pistol capable of firing while the other one was a Tokarev whose serial number had been defaced,” police said.
