A man in Nairobi was distressed after a gang posing as police officers robbed him of his cash.

Police say the three men ambushed the victim identified as Stanley Kiarie as he was waiting to board a matatu to Kamende.

At the time, the trio dressed in police attire claimed to be officers and arrested him for possessing bhang. Shortly as they were walking, the 'officers' planted rolls of bhang into his pockets.

They also demanded Ksh20,000 for his release, stole Ksh2,000 from his pockets and forced him to withdraw Ksh6,000 from his Mpesa.

Out of the money they took, they gave him Ksh500 as transport money before disappearing.

The police have since vowed to investigate the matter and bring the culprits to book.

Frederick Kinaibei Shiundu was found at 3:30 am abandoned at the Tipis area near a river with his firearm missing.

"Ref my earlier signal on the above subject and ob 4/8/2/2023 at 4:43 am. please be informed that No.231421 Mr. Frederick Kinaibei Shiundu SSP and the sub-county police commander Narok Central was found today at 3:30 am abandoned at Tipis area near a river and his firearm Jericho S/NO. 44330865 loaded with 14 rounds of 9mm stolen," an OB report seen by K24 Digital read in part.
