Two men found in possession of fake currencies worth Sh750 million will spend five days at Kilimani Police station. This is after Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Philip Mutua granted the detectives five days to complete their investigations. While justifying his 10 days request, the DCI officer said he needed more time as he had to liaise with Interpol to confirm if the suspects have other criminal records. The two suspects were arrested from an apartment in Kilimani, Nairobi, where they had kept the fake papers in Kenyan, US and Euro bills. Police said the fake money recovered was in US Dollars of 100 bills amounting to 6,820,000 US Dollars, fake Euros 100 bills totalling to 490,000 Euros and fake Kenya shillings note of 1000 denomination totalling Sh6.4 million.
