Arrest
Jane Mugo was arrested in September 2019. A warrant of arrest was issued from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on September 11, 2019. Mugo faced charges of robbery with violence, impersonation and threatening to kill.
The warrant of arrest was lifted but Mugo was ordered to appear in court. She insisted that the warrant for her arrest was issued because of a case she was working on.
