The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Thursday, January 23, flagged as fake a letter detailing a proposal to form an anti-abduction unit.

The now-flagged letter, which was dated January 22, stated that the Inspector General of Police had considered and approved a proposal from the DCI for 30 police officers from the Kenya Police and Administration Police Service to be interviewed and once selected, be deployed in the anti-abduction unit.

In the letter, the authority figures directed that interested and qualified police officers be informed of the new development so that they could be able to tender their applications by filling in their details on the Google Forms link provided in the letter.

The counterfeit letter listed seven qualifications that interested candidates must have attained so as to be eligible to apply.
