Former Chuluni MCA James Mbuvi, popularly known as Wanguze, has been arrested alongside two others for allegedly impersonating an Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detective.
The trio was apprehended by EACC officers and is expected to face charges related to fraud and impersonation. Authorities are investigating the matter, with more details expected to emerge as the case unfolds.
NOTORIOUS EACC IMPERSONATORS CAUGHT RED-HANDED
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission(EACC) has arrested three serial imposters posing as senior EACC investigators.
Former Kyululu Ward, MCA, James Mbuvi Kula, Mike Muthami Kasingi, and Raphael Muthoka Kithembe were finally nabbed today by EACC sleuths at Three Hut bar in Komarock as they waited to pounce on a complainant who luckily had outsmarted them. A search by EACC investigators uncovered 12 mobile phones, 22 sim cards, and 8 notebooks with names and particulars of targeted victims.
The arrest follows numerous complaints alleging that the three suspects were impersonating EACC’s investigators and extorting money from senior Government officials and parastatal heads.
The Commission appeals to the public to be vigilant and not fall prey to imposters.
EACC investigators have official job cards, which they produce for identification while on duty. Further, the Commission summons persons of interest via official written communication to appear at the Headquarters or the nearest Regional Offices or at a police station.
