The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has ordered businessman Jimi Wanjigi to surrender 11 firearms and over 480 ammunitions within 72 hours.

Surrender guns or face arrest, DCI warns Wanjigi

The 11 firearms include two Ceska pistols, three Glock guns, a CQ, a Gilboa amongst others and 485 rounds of ammunition.

Of particular interest to the DCI is the businessman's possession of a Glock URT 735, which the businessman has been asked to explain its source.

Failure to do so, the agency says, will lead to his prosecution for illegal possession.

In a letter to Mr Wanjigi, the DCI said it made the move following a criminal investigation into the businessman.

“You are requested to appear at the DCI headquarters, Mazingira House along Kiambu road in Nairobi within 72 hours of the service of this summons, failure to which constitutes an offence liable to prosecution,” the DCI summons to Mr Wanjigi reads in part.
