The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is seeking to have two people arrested in a Black Toyota Prado allegedly containing hand grenades along Muthaiga road on Thursday evening detained for 14 days pending further probe. The vehicle in which they were using was allegedly intercepted along Muthaiga road while "trying to enter house number 44". Among them were suspected four explosive hand grenades black in colour, two pocket phones, seven pocket chargers, three mobile phones and a national identity card belonging to one Eliah Karangu Waithuku. We seek the 14 days to subject the suspect hand grenades to the Bomb disposal experts for analysis," the court heard. Another reason they are seeking 14 days is to send the communication gadgets to the communication authority of Kenya to ascertain whether they are licensed and permitted to be used within Kenya.
