A man passing himself off as an officer of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) was held for harassing a female police officer and creating disturbance in Kisii.
The imposter is being held at Suneka Police Station in Kisii for allegedly assaulting a police officer he claimed was not dressed appropriately while manning the police desk.
The suspect is said to have stormed Suneka Police Station Report Office and dragged the police officer out, saying she was not dressed appropriately and that he was a KDF officer.
According to a police report, the alleged imposter drove into the station at around 9pm on Monday night, parked his car right in front of the police post, and stormed the reporting desk.
“The intruder violently pulled the female officer from her duty post which prompted the immediate intervention by her colleague and the duty officer,” read the police report in part.
When confronted, the 27-year-old suspect reportedly declined to identify himself before Suneka Police Station Deputy OCS and Inspector of Police, Cephas Ombija.
DCI officers are reportedly questioning the suspect to establish if he has connection to acts of crime in the area.
