Two men were Sunday arrested after they were caught impersonating Editors of Nation Media Group with an aim of extorting money from oblivious victims in Bungoma County.
Glen Kisiang'ani and Ken Onkota allegedly conned a businessman at Rise Up Society a total sum of Sh110,000 after conducting a 9-day operation from January 2. The impersonators claimed they were editors following up on a story, that was aired on NTV to expose the rot in the Company.
Mr Onkota was nabbed in the act of attempting to get his final pay of Sh50,000 from the company's Managing Director Jim Ndiruchi. He then led the Police to his accomplice who was waiting to share the money at a shopping centre in Kaguchai Constituency.
The men were taken to a Bungoma Police Station pending further investigations into the matter.
