Police are holding a Chinese man after he was found with five assorted guns and 205 bullets in Nairobi’s Lavington area. When pressed further, he led the officers to a house in Lavington, Nairobi where four more guns were seized with 205 bullets. Police said they seized an M4 rifle with five bullets, a Ceska pistol with 10 bullets, a Taurus revolver with three bullets and a Taurus pistol with three bullets. The law requires that there be annual renewal of the licenses held by the civilian firearms holders. Matiang’i had in December 2018 announced the vetting of the civilian firearms holders following increased cases of fake certificates that were in circulation.
