A senior police officer yesterday told a Nakuru court that a man who masqueraded as a top police officer performed extraordinary duties because of protection by seniors.

Former Njoro police boss Peter Nthiga further told Senior Resident Magistrate Joe Omido that attempts by other middle-ranking police officers to raise questions about Joshua Waiganjo’s suitability for the police service were futile.
