Businesswoman Mary Wambui was on Wednesday arrested for allegedly being in possession of an unregistered firearm.
Wambui was nabbed and questioned by detectives before being taken to the Muthaiga Police Station where she is being detained.
The controversial businesswoman is set to be arraigned in court on Thursday.
The Purma Holdings director was previously arrested, arraigned and released on a Ksh.50 million bond and a surety of Ksh.25 million after pleading not guilty to charges of alleged tax evasion amounting to Ksh.2.2 billion.
Upon her release, the Firearms Licensing Board ordered the businesswoman to surrender a firearm she was illegally in possession of; a CZ 75 semi-automatic pistol.
The firearms regulator, in a demand letter, claimed that Wambui’s licence to carry the weapon had expired.
Wambui, the very next day, surrendered the CZ 75 semi-automatic pistol to Runda Police Station for forwarding to the Firearms Licensing Board on her behalf.
While submitting the gun, she claimed that she had initially intended to renew the expired licence but found the authority’s offices closed.
