A DCI detective Edward Mwaniki Kabachia based at Kisauni has been arrested by other DCI detectives after duping a woman in a job scam.
Edward Mwaniki Kabachia was arrested on Wednesday.
The move comes after an event where he received a large amount of money from a lady by falsely pretending that he was able to secure her two relatives jobs.
Detective Kabachia guaranteed to give her relatives jobs at the Kenya Prisons recruitment exercise held in 2017.
His arrest follows the conclusion of an inquiry by DCI Likoni.
However, the Likoni DCI suggested that the officer be charged with the offence of obtaining money by false pretences contrary to Sec 313 of the Penal Code.
He will be arraigned in court today.
