A man who allegedly posed as a Kenya Defence Forces officer to swindle desperate jobseekers has been arrested at a guesthouse in Nambale, Busia County, after reportedly collecting KSh1.1 million in fraudulent recruitment fees from unsuspecting families.
Detectives acting on intelligence raided Cereda Guesthouse, where they found the suspect, Brian Shem Maboni Achieng, in a room alongside a 22-year-old woman whose mother had accompanied her there in the belief that a KDF enlistment slot was within reach.

A second young woman had also been brought to the same premises by her parent under identical pretences.
What officers discovered inside the room went beyond a simple con. The suspect had reportedly already drawn blood and urine samples from one of the women, claiming to be conducting an official military medical examination.
Items seized from the room included two syringes, one carrying a blood sample and another containing a clear fluid, a black dual-head stethoscope, an Omron blood pressure machine, surgical spirit and cotton wool.
