Nairobi Man in Court for Impersonating police to Solicit Sex from Sex Workers

A man was on Monday charged in court for impersonating a cop to solicit sex prom a prostitute.

A Kibera Law court heard that Benson Mbugua committed the offense on February 25 at Uthiru shopping centre in Dagorreti sub-county in Nairobi County.

The court heard that Mbugua posed as an officer based at Satellite police post with the goal of arresting the sex worker in contrary with the law.

As per the charge sheet, the accused approached the lady and asked her for sex.

The lady is said to have proposed a Sh300 price per session but they disagreed during the negotiations. The sex worker walked away to consult her colleagues which upset Mbugua.

The said man then claimed he was an officer under instruction to arrest the sex laborer for stealing a PC and a cell phone from a client.

The ladies protested the arrest but later obeyed after noticing he had a radio call. A man who rents rooms to the sex workers and their clients tried to intervene but Mbugua ignored him.

Minutes after the fact, the man saw Mbugua was holding a fake radio call and requested that he produce his certificate of appointment with the national police service.

Whenever he could not present the certificate, Mbugua attempted to flee but he was cornered by the sex workers and other members of the public.

He was whipped before cops saved him and took him to the police station.

Showing up before Kibera senior principal magistrate Charles Mwaniki, Mbugua denied the charges.

The accused was released on a Sh100,000 bond or a cash bail of Sh50,000.

Judge Mwaniki coordinated that the case be referenced on March 2.
