Two arrested for impersonating National and Military Intelligence Services

Two suspects have been arrested after posing as government officials at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters.

Samuel Morara Nyambane and Joseph Murimi Njue were arrested by sleuths when they presented themselves at the DCI Headquarters claiming they were officers from Military Intelligence and National Intelligence Service respectively.

The two had gone to DCI seeking assistance to have suspects arrested.

“The two had cited frustrations from the Investigating officer in a case of obtaining money by false pretence that was allegedly recorded at Central Police Station, Nairobi,” DCI said in a statement posted on its X handle.

When asked to present their official identification card, the duo claimed they had not carried them prompting the sleuths to do further background checks on them.

“Preliminary investigations reveal that the two are part of a group of swindlers who have been defrauding unsuspecting members of the public,” DCI added.

The police are now calling on anyone who may have fallen victim to the two to report at the DCI Headquarters.
