The National Police Service (NPS) has flagged as fake a news quote purporting that its spokesperson, Muchiri Nyaga, dismissed claims that Deputy Inspector of Police Eliud Lagat had resumed duty.
The flagged media card, allegedly from a local news outlet, had claimed that the police spokesperson was not aware of Lagat's return to office.
NPS had urged the news outlet to seek clarification from those reporting that he was resuming on Monday.
In an X post, stamping the news card as fake, NPS called out the comment saying, "Disclaimer...FAKE!!!" distancing the spokesperson from claims of being unaware of the DIG's return.
