The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the suspect, Joshua Mutui Muimi, had upgraded himself from civilian to ‘KDF brigadier’ without ever seeing a parade square, using a fabricated military identity to extort money from unsuspecting Kenyans.
According to investigators, the coordinated operation was the culmination of a sustained, covert pursuit aimed at disrupting a violent robbery ring believed to have been preparing for yet another attack.
The suspect, identified as Chrispinus Nandafu Naisuma, was arrested in Kianjai, Tigania West, Meru County, following a sting operation by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The summons were issued by Milimani Chief Magistrate Wambo after the officers failed to show up in court on Monday, September 15, despite a formal request by the suspects' legal team.
In a statement released on September 12, 2025, the DCI termed the report "false and sensational," accusing the newspaper of misleading the public and trying to damage the agency’s reputation.
