Kenyan Reggae deejay Nicholas Mugo Mwangi commonly known by his stage name as DJ Moh was arrested on Wednesday night.
Special Crimes Prevention Unit (SCPU) detectives took him from Space Lounge on Ngong Road where he was doing his usual deejaying work.
He was found in possession of Steyr pistol and 174 rounds of ammunition.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) revealed on Thursday that DJ Moh is in their custody.

The picture caused an uproar among fans who came out asking why the Dj was carrying a gun yet security in clubs is provided by bouncers.
His photo was first shared on Nairobi Gossip Club.
This is not the first time a celebrity is showing off his gun in public.
Not long ago, Willy Paul in a viral video threatened to pull out his gun.
