The court has granted police 10 days to detain alleged quack doctor Mugo Wairimu in order to complete investigations.
Mugo appeared at the Milimani law
courts on Wednesday for operating an illegal clinic. He was arrested on Tuesday evening in Gachie, Kiambu.
Senior resident magistrate Bernard Nzakyo granted the prosecution’s request.
Last week, Mugo hit the headlines
when NTV aired an investigative report on him for operating a clinic
in Kayole under the name Millan Health Care.

were also
charged with operating a lab without a license from Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board. They denied the charge.
