Mombasa police noted that upon his arrival, Punjani will be arrested for interrogation.

Mombasa police boss Johnston Ipara stated: “We will arrest him the minute he gets into the country. We want him to come and explain to us where he got all his wealth. We got a lot of cheques, title deeds and more than Sh63,000 from his house during our crackdown.”

According to Ipara, businessman remains a drug trafficking suspect as they believe he is directly or indirectly involved in the narcotics trade.
