Kenya Police has arrested suspected weapons smuggler with up to 100,000 bullets and an assortment of guns, a huge cache in a country with stringent gun laws. Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere said the weapons including guns, sleeping bags, military knives, boots and camouflage uniforms could have been on transfer to another country.
Iteere added that the police recovered weapons and ammunition after two raids carried out late on Monday at the suspect’s house in the capital Nairobi and on a business site in the western town of Narok.

Speaking to journalists at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters in Nairobi, police commissioner said they are holding a man claim to be a prime suspect in the whose house the weapons were allegedly recovered.

But the lawyer of the suspect Muneer Hammed argued that his client had been framed and was not part of any illegal business.
