Mugo was arrested after his plans to buy a t-shirt landed him on the hands of the flying squad officers who were trailing him for a couple of days. He was arrested outside Utalii house ending a six days manhunt.
Mugo will be detained for 10 days at Pangani police station, as investigations continue. The officers yesterday requested to hold him for two weeks, but senior resident magistrate Ben Nzakyon gave them 10 days.
They said Mugo is being investigated for illegal medical practice and obtaining money by false pretences. The officers said he carried out an operation on November 3 at Millan Health International in Kayole, Nairobi.
Mugo said he was disadvantaged because he had no lawyer. He said was assaulted on Tuesday after he was arrested. Nzakyon directed him to lodge a complaint with the police. The magistrate also directed that he be taken for treatment.
Last week, Victor Kamunya, 22, and Risper Ogony, 19, alleged to be his employees, were charged with several offences, including operating a clinic illegally in Kayole.
Mugo went into hiding on November 7 after officials from the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board raided the Kayole clinic, where he was alleged to have been procuring abortions. The clinic had no licences. NTV had aired an expose on the clinic.
Three years ago, Mugo was arrested and charged with raping a patient while operating another illegal clinic in Githurai 44 estate.
Soon after he disappeared, senior DCI commanders piled pressure on Flying Squad chiefs Musa Yego and John Njoroge to have him arrested. Yego turned the heat on his officers. He deployed them in various houses in the city where police suspected Mugo had been hiding.
Police are also looking into other people who communication with Mugo during the search to be brought for question and establish the relationship with the quack doctor .
DO YOU THINK THE LAW WILL APPLY TO MUGO’S CASE THIS TIME ROUND?
