Bodyguards for Armenian also expelled from Kenya
By Michael Mumo

Two Tanzanian bodyguards of the Armenian brothers have also now been
expelled from Kenya.

They left earlier this afternoon for their home country, following
yesterday’s dramatic deportation of Artur Margaryan and Artur
Sargasyan.

The Artur’s were seized yesterday morning following an incident at
the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport where they reportedly drew a
gun at customs officers.

It’s understood that they declined to allow the officers inspect
goods that they had received from abroad.

Police raided their residence at Runda and found a dozen car license
plates, including some supposed to be issued only to diplomats. Also
found was a car bearing GK plates, guns, machetes and bulletproof
vests.
