An ex KDF officer, who once served in the navy department, has been locked up at the Kerugoya police station after he was accused of defrauding Sh 450,000 from unsuspecting KDF recruits and forging KDF calling letters. Head of Criminal investigation Department in Kirinyaga Central, Samuel Agutu, confirmed the incident saying that the ex army officer has been hoodwinking unsuspecting and unsuccessful recruitees using different identities. Upon inquiry, Agutu said that Wanjiku discovered that she was conned and sought help from Kerugoya Central police station. After thorough investigation, the culprit was nabbed with an army service card that reflected his duties and reasons for his dismissal in 2009 from the army. According to the card, the suspect was dismissed off his duty after he failed to complete his training.
