Thursday, August 21,
2025 - Detectives
from the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) have apprehended 28-year-old
Desmond Omollo Ogutu for making false documents.
The arrest took place in Claywork area of Kasarani, Nairobi
County, where detectives acted on credible leads, taking the suspect into
custody.
A thorough search of Ogutu’s residence uncovered a treasure
trove of incriminating evidence, including a collection of fake stamps from
Port Health Services for Wilson Airport, a counterfeit seal of a Port Health
officer for Wilson Airport, and stamps fraudulently inscribed with “Injectable
Polio Vaccine” and “Stamaril Pasteur.”
The haul also featured stamps bearing the writings “Gertrude
Children’s Hospital” and “Dr. Desmond Ogutu,” as well as 274 blank
International Certificates of Vaccination and 91 single-dose vaccination cards.
Investigations have since linked Ogutu to forged yellow cards
recovered from six Somali nationals intercepted at the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport on August 8th, 2025, while being smuggled to
Libya via Egypt.
The suspect was today arraigned before Kahawa Law Courts for
custodial orders, but the session was adjourned after his lawyer failed to join
the virtual proceedings on time.
He is currently being held at Muthaiga Police Station, with the matter scheduled for mention tomorrow, August 21, 2025.
