An early morning raid by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on a residential house in Lang'ata has led to the recovery of huge sums of fake money.
In a tweet, the office of the DCI noted that the raid helped them recover Zambian Kwachas, millions of fake US dollars, and over 100 kilograms fake gold nuggets.
"An early morning raid by DCI along Kiboko/Mukoma road led to the recovery of millions of fake US Dollars, Zambian Kwachas and over 100 kilograms of fake Gold nuggets," DCI tweeted.
The DCI further disclosed that eight suspects were arrested following the raid.
The eight are expected to be arraigned in court later today.
"Four foreigners-1 Congolese, 2 Tanzanians, 1 Nigerian-& 4 Kenyans arrested. To be charged in court today," the statement read in part.
This is not the first time that DCI detectives ave nabbed millions of fake currency in the country.
