A Nairobi court has allowed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to detain two aides of politician Jimi Wanjigi for a period of seven days to allow police to complete investigations after they were allegedly found with explosives.
Chief Magistrate Bernard Ochoi remanded Dancun Odhiambo and Calvin Odongo at the Central Police Station where Nairobi Central DCI is carrying out investigations.
The two men were arrested with four items suspected to be hand grenades in Muthaiga, Nairobi last Thursday.
Detective Constable Andrew Njagi of Nairobi Central DCI offices told the court that he is investigating a case of being in possession of explosives contrary to section 6 (1) as read with section 29 of the Explosives Act Cap115 laws of Kenya.
He had asked the court for orders to detain the two respondents for 14 days.
Ochoi said the allegations levelled against the two are serious and need to be thoroughly investigated.
The two were arrested while in possession of a black Toyota Prado registration number KDC 883R.
