Nairobi: Two arrested in crackdown on counterfeit mathematical tables

Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) detectives on Friday arrested two individuals for illegally printing four figure mathematical table covers in Nairobi, as part of efforts to combat the proliferation of fake publications in the country.

"The detectives went further and traced the owner of the store and the printing machine namely Jeremiah Esikumo Opati who disclosed that he had been contracted by Muyela Aluta Samuel who was also traced and arrested," the DCI said in a statement on Sunday.

"Further, it was established that Muyela runs a printing store number 9 situated at Rahu house basement along Mfangano Street where upon search, a printing machine and Four Figure Mathematical Table templates were recovered."

Muyela likewise guided the detectives to another shop situated at Room 28, Manshram Mansion building on the same street, where they recovered over one thousand copies of Four Figure Mathematical Tables lacking covers.

The suspects remain in custody pending arraignment.
