Two students in ‘fake’ doctor Mugo Wairimu’s case released on Sh200,000 cash bail

Two students arrested at ‘fake’ doctor Mugo wa Wairimu’s clinic have been released on a Sh200,000 cash bail or Sh500,000 bond with a surety of similar amount each.

Victor Gathiru Kamunya, 22, and Risper Auma Ogony, 19, have spent two weeks in police custody.

Milimani Law Courts magistrate Martha Mutuku said there is no compelling reason to continue holding them.

Ogony is a first-year student at Kiriri Women’s University of Science and Technology in Githurai where she is pursuing a diploma course in procurement.
