Two casual labourers arrested outside the residence of Safina Party leader Jimi Wanjigi on August 8, allegedly with four hand grenades, have been detained for seven days for interrogation ahead of prosecution.

In a dramatic turn of events, Mr Wanjigi, through his lawyers Willis Otieno and John Andati, on Monday told Chief Magistrate Bernard Ochoi that the owners of the grenades had been made public.
