Wanda Wanjiru Okisai in court over illegal posession of firearm Certificate
Businesswoman Wanda Wanjiru Okisai has been charged in court for allegedly being in possession of ammunition without a valid firearm certificate, contrary to Kenya’s Firearms Act.
Wanda Wanjiru Okisai was arrested at Hazina Trade Centre in Nairobi after police allegedly found her with one round of 9x19mm ammunition.
The prosecution claims the ammunition was unlawfully obtained.
According to court documents, Wanda was apprehended on October 30, 2025, and was unable to account for how she came into possession of the ammunition.
She was later arraigned in court, where she denied the charges.
Her defence lawyer pleaded with the court to grant her lenient bond terms, arguing that the ammunition had not been used to commit any offence.
The court, however, directed that Wanda be detained in police custody until November 18, 2025, to allow the probation department to file a report on her suitability for release on bond pending trial.
