On 3 February 2016, police in Bungoma arrested five suspects who were allegedly posing as preachers while being investigated over a kidnapping claim. Officers said the group was taken into custody during the operation.
According to the report, police also recovered a gun from the suspects. The arrests linked the men to a wider inquiry into the alleged abduction, though the source did not provide further details on the victims, the circumstances of the arrest, or any formal charges.
The case drew attention because the suspects were said to have presented themselves as religious figures. Nyakundi Report has retained the source’s core allegations and police account as reported.
