On Tuesday, a suspect attempted to impersonate a National Intelligence Service officer at Industrial Area Police Station in Nairobi, seeking to interrogate a prisoner.
The suspect, Ambrose Nesta Makokha, produced a fake NIS ID to the Officer in Charge (OCS) and was immediately arrested.
The fake ID was confiscated, and the suspect was due to appear in court on Wednesday.
This incident comes on the heels of a similar case in June 2019, where another suspect was arrested for impersonating a Kenya Defence Forces officer in Gilgil, attempting to con a woman of Sh720,000.
Additionally, in April, DCI detectives arrested three police officers stationed in Kamukunji and Railways Police Stations for impersonating Flying Squad officers, linked to robbery incidents in the city.
