Police in Dagoretti, Nairobi, are perplexed by the seizure of a cache of arms and bullets from two women.
An M4 sniper rifle with a 500-meter effective range, four pistols, a close-quarter Uzi automatic submachine gun capable of firing 600 rounds per minute, and 3,700 bullets of various calibers were seized in an operation on Wednesday afternoon.
According to the police, they arrested two women, Joyce Muthoni Mwihia and her mother Goretti Mwihia, who have dual US citizenship and live in Racecourse, Dagoretti Corner, Nairobi.
The two are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday as police investigate their potential ties to terrorism.
