Police in Naivasha have arrested a man impersonating a senior military officer and recovered a pistol in two separate incidents in the lakeside town.
In the first incident, a suspect in his mid-30s, dressed in full military gear, drove himself to the police station.
He claimed he was seeking an abstract after allegedly losing his military identity card, but officers soon realised he was a con artist and arrested him.
Naivasha OCPD Antony Keter confirmed the arrest, noting that the suspect initially provided contradictory statements about the abstract, which raised suspicions among the police.
