According to sources, residents of Kayole had seen the man many times in uniform, believing he was a real officer.
He acted and talked like a police officer and was even seen giving orders in the area. However, something about his behavior made people suspicious.
Police officers, acting on a tip from concerned locals, decided to investigate. They followed the man and finally arrested him while he was wearing full police regalia.
It is still unclear how long he had been pretending to be an officer or what his true motive was.
Authorities are now questioning him to find out if he was involved in any crimes while pretending to be a police officer. They are also trying to learn how he got the police uniform and whether he had any help from inside the force.
This incident has raised concerns among the public about how someone can so easily pose as an officer. Many people online are asking the police to be more careful in monitoring the use of uniforms and identity badges.
The photo of the suspect, dressed as a police officer, has been shared widely on social media.
It was first posted by The Kuria Community on Facebook and has drawn many comments from Kenyans expressing shock and disbelief.
Police say they will release more information as investigations continue. In the meantime, they are warning the public to report any suspicious individuals pretending to be officers.
