Infamous Kenyan Police Impostor Joshua Waiganjo Arrested for Violating Curfew

Infamous Kenyan police impostor Joshua Waiganjo has been arrested for allegedly violating curfew orders.

Waiganjo was arrested on Wednesday, May 6th, after he went past a police roadblock mounted at Komarock junction in Nairobi, according to Kayole OCPD Wilson Kosgey.

Kosgey said Waiganjo almost injured a police officer and was rude to the officers on duty. He was among 24 people arrested for defying the dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed by the government as part of the measures to stem the spread of Covid-19.

Waiganjo and the other suspects will be arraigned in court on Thursday, May 7th.

Waiganjo shot into limelight in 2012 when he was charged in court for masquerading as a senior police officer in Nakuru for many years.

In 2015, a Naivasha court handed Waiganjo a five-year jail term for impersonating a police officer, one year for dressing in police uniform, and six months each for three charges of being in possession of government stores.
