Muhammad was being investigated over terrorism claims but upon completing investigations, anti-terror police dropped plans to prefer terror-related charges against him.
The police instead, charged him with being illegally in the country, an offence he pleaded guilty. The police suspected him of conducting surveillance At Mirage Mall in Westlands, Nairobi.
The charge against him stated that on October 29, this year at Mirage mall in Nairobi City, being a Pakistan national, he was found to be unlawfully present in Kenya with expired visa.
