Wednesday, August 20, 2025 - A middle-aged Kalenjin man has been arrested after he was busted posing as a police officer attached to Kamukunji Police Station and terrorizing young men in the Nairobi CBD.
According to witnesses, the impostor had been moving around
the city center, targeting unsuspecting youths.
He allegedly stops them, accuses them of petty offences, and
then demands bribes to “let them go.”
Reports indicate that the fake cop had been operating for
months, collecting thousands of shillings from victims who feared being taken
to the station.
His luck ran out after he harassed a young man and injured
him, attracting members of the public who cornered him before real police
officers arrived.
A video circulating online shows the suspect being roughed
up by angry wananchi as he tried to plead his innocence.
He was later handed over to the authorities.
Watch the video.
