On June 9, 2020, Senior Resident Magistrate David Muema Ndungi directed John Oganga Muyai to be held at the Kilimani Police Station to allow police finalize their investigation.
The court heard that Muyai is being investigated for infringement of copyright works through the circulation of PDF copies of Daily Nation and Business Daily newspapers.
Police sought to hold him longer, citing that he is a flight risk because his place of residence is not known.
He will be charged with illegal distribution and offering for sale copyrighted works as well as circumventing technological protection measures.
According to police constable Daniel Githiari, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Nairobi Regional headquarters requires more time to subject the suspect's mobile phone, laptop, and desktop found in his possession to forensic examination before he can be formally charged.
