Kenyans arrested for giving fake Covid jabs

Police in Kenya are holding two suspects who impersonated doctors and administered what is believed to be fake Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigation says ”the two charged many unsuspecting Kenyans $30 (£21) a jab.”

All Covid-19 vaccines offered in the country are free.

“We have received more than 10 complaints from Kenyans who were duped. We need more time to investigate the matter,” Corporal Kapario Lekakeny, the investigating officer, told the court.

The court agreed to the request and the suspects were remanded in custody.
