DCI detective in charge of the case PC Stephen Kibei had requested the court for 10 days to hold Samuel Maina Wakaba and Bonface Mungai Mwaura.
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.
“We are seeking for more time to enable investigators to do profiling on the respondents herein, liaise with Interpol to ascertain whether they are wanted persons, forward their fingerprints to the criminal registry at DCI headquarters to confirm their criminal record,” DCI officer said.
The two suspects were arrested from an apartment in Kilimani, Nairobi, where they had kept the fake papers in Kenyan, US and Euro bills. The money was kept in metal boxes.
