Aiming to stop the spread of false publications nationwide, Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) detectives detained two people on Friday in Nairobi for allegedly printing four-figure mathematical table covers illegally.

At a store on Ronald Ngala Street, Christopher Muthini Musyoki and Eugine Asunda were taken into custody.

"The detectives went further and traced the owner of the store and the printing machine, namely Jeremiah Esikumo Opati, who disclosed that he had been contracted by Muyela Aluta Samuel, who was also traced and arrested," the DCI said in a statement on Sunday.


"Further, it was established that Muyela runs a printing store number 9 situated at Rahu house basement along Mfangano Street where upon search, a printing machine and Four Figure Mathematical Table templates were recovered."

Muyela also led the investigators to another store on the same street Room 28 of the Manshram Mansion building, where they found more than a thousand copies of Four Figure Mathematical Tables without covers.

While they wait to be arraigned, the suspects are still being held.
