DCI detectives have arrested a man impersonating a brigadier in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF).
The suspect, named Joshua Mutui Muimi, posed as a KDF officer and handed out fake recruitment letters.
Mutui, who operated from an apartment in Kilimani, was found dressed in full Kenya Air Force regalia.
“Joshua Mutui Muimi, who had upgraded himself from civilian to “KDF brigadier” without ever seeing a parade square, has been on a money-minting spree, conning hopeful youths with fake recruitment letters to the Recruit Training School (RTS) in Eldoret.”
Inside the flat, detectives recovered documents bearing the Ministry of Defence logo and recruitment letters with identical serial numbers.
Also seized were several fingerprint forms and a manual on ammunition manufacturing.
“A meticulous search inside the house peeled back the truth. Detectives recovered documents bearing the Ministry of Defence logo, including six fake admission letters bearing the same serial number, seven fingerprint forms, and a Yilmaz Defence Industry ammunition manufacturing manual, among other incriminating materials.”
