Detectives in Nakuru are looking for ex-Mungiki leader Maina Njenga in relation to the recovery of two firearms and over 90 rolls of bhang.
The weapons were found at a home linked to Njenga.
"One of the firearms recovered was a homemade pistol capable of firing while the other one was a Tokarev whose serial number had been defaced."
DCI boss Mohamed Amin said in a statement on Monday evening that the items were recovered following a raid mounted by detectives at Ngomongo village in Dundori ward.
He said three rounds of 9mm blank ammunition were also found hidden in one of the rooms in the house.
Amin said the officers arrested eight suspects aged between 37 and 54 during the raid.
"Any information on the whereabouts of the ex-Mungiki leader who has since gone into hiding maybe volunteered through the #FichuakwaDCI anonymous hotline 0800 722 203," Amin said.
On May 12, Njenga alleged that three of his homes in Nairobi, Nakuru and Laikipia were raided by the police.
He said the teams, which arrived simultaneously at 4 am at his Lavington, Karen and Nyandarua homes, told workers they were looking for him.
Some of the workers at his Nyahururu residence told the media that up to over 20 officers raided the home and demanded to search the house.
