Ahmed was sacked in April from the bank over claims of financial malpractices.

Police said they had been informed Ahmed was fleeing the country and would not return.

The former CEO spent Thursday night at the Kilimani police station cells as his friends tried to have him released in vain.

Ahmed and five other managers were sacked after the bank made bad losses.

Police said charges against the other managers are also ready and they would soon appear in court.

Ahmed will be arraigned in court on Friday morning to face fraud and other charges.
