A Kenyan student on Friday (January 18th) pleaded guilty in a Nairobi court to impersonating Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo after opening a Facebook account and posting messages under Kimaiyo's name, Kenya's Capital FM reported.
Jackson Siro has been remanded to police custody for the weekend and will be sentenced on Monday when more facts about the case unfold.
Siro had attracted 10,000 "likes" on Facebook before police arrested him on Thursday.
Kenya has witnessed a series of police impersonation cases recently, including this month's arrest of Joshua Waiganjo who is charged with impersonating a police officer since 2002. In addition, two weeks ago, a secondary school boy was charged in a Nairobi court with impersonating a police chief to obtain 90,000 shillings ($1,000) from three members of parliament.
