Ledivin Mupanga was nabbed on arrival from Ethiopia following a stop order that had been placed by Serious Crime Detectives.

Mupanga is in lawful custody awaiting arraignment in court on Wednesday.
Further investigations are ongoing.
In May, a Bulgarian national and a Kenyan suspected to be involved in a fake gold scam were charged with obtaining Sh3 million from a trader by falsely pretending they could sell him 10kg of gold.
