The man detained for impersonation and trespass at Embakasi Garrison has a warrant of arrest after he failed to appear in a Makadara court over a criminal case facing him.

The warrant was issued against Willington Kimtai Kipyego who has a pending case in court where he was charged with being in possession of a fake firearm.

Kimtai was arrested in 2021 by officers at Ruai Police Station who took him to court where he absconded in 2022 and has allegedly been on the run.

Officers from the station on Tuesday went for him as their colleagues at Kilimani Police Station where he was initially being held, waited to be furnished with proper information regarding the impersonation and trespass offenses. "It is true the man has a warrant of arrest, my officers have gone for him, and he is likely to be presented in court tomorrow (Wednesday)," said Ruai Sub County Criminal Investigations Officer (SCIO) Benard Yugi.
