Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - Parklands detectives have arrested an impostor who has been parading himself as a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) brigadier, preying on the hopes of innocent citizens and extorting money in the guise of recruitment.
Joshua Mutui Muimi, who had upgraded himself from civilian
to “KDF brigadier” without ever seeing a parade square, has been on a
money-minting spree, conning hopeful youths with fake recruitment letters to
the Recruit Training School (RTS) in Eldoret.
Acting on intelligence, detectives cornered him inside his
rented Kilimani apartment, where he was found fully kitted out in Kenya Air
Force regalia.
A meticulous search inside the house peeled back the truth.
Detectives recovered documents bearing the Ministry of
Defence logo, including six fake admission letters bearing the same serial
number, seven fingerprint forms, and a Yilmaz Defence Industry ammunition
manufacturing manual, among other incriminating materials.
The suspect is now in custody undergoing processing pending
arraignment.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is urging the public to remain vigilant and shun shortcuts in the security sector recruitment process, as genuine enlistment is free, fair and transparent.
