According to Kitengela Police Station OCPD, the duo were accosted by officers at a roadblock while driving in a Toyota Voxy past curfew hours.

The two identified themselves as Ministry of Health connoisseurs on the Covid-19 mitigation programme but could not provide official identification documents.

This prompted officers to search their car, only to find tens of boxes containing hundreds of dosages of fake Sputnik Vaccine with a fake batch number, distinct from that imported by a private health consultant.
