Chief Inspector of Police Kennedy Omondi has been arrested for allegedly impersonating immigration officers.
Omondi was arrested on Friday by Flying Squad officers alongside three other suspects identified as Stanilus Otieno, Eddie Obwaka, and Boniface Omengi.
“The arrests followed a report made by the complainants whose passports and other documents had been confiscated by the said ‘immigration officers.’” the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) says in a statement.
Detectives say the four were pounced while attempting to extort Sh2 million from unsuspecting Kenyans after allegedly confiscating their passports and documents.
Omondi and his accomplices allegedly posed as immigration officers while confiscating the travel documents from victims.
Victims say the four were initially asking for Sh10 million before lowering it to Sh2 million. Two other suspects managed escaped.
“They were going to collect Sh2 million when they were nabbed by detectives,” DCI adds.
A pistol and several rounds of ammunition were recovered from their hideout.

Why would someone pay 2 million for a passport? Am l missing something?

Police in Kenya are beyond corruption. It is a disease and it has infected 99% of the police force nationwide. Majority of the politicians are corrupted as well to a tune of 95%. Majority of public employees are marred in corruption as well. No one is safe from this malady known as corruption. The country has gone to hell. All the talk about fighting corruption is just a game. The conmen are everywhere. The judiciary is corrupt as well. No hope.

@Godhavemercy: Ndugu, usikate tamaa. Nchi ya Nigeria ilikuwa mbaya sana hata kuliko vile Kenya ilivyo sasa. Kiongozi mmoja aliyeitwa Murtala Mohammed alichukua uongozi halafu akainyosha nchi hiyo kuwa nzuri sana.
Uwanja wa ndege wa Kimataifa katika mji wa Lagos, Nigeria, unaitwa jina lake kama njia ya kumkumbuka kwa uongozi wake bora.
