What you need to know:

  • According to Chief Inspector George Chai, the suspect said on the Facebook account that he was supporting the less fortunate by giving free lorries.
  • He said Atito and his accomplices also asked unsuspecting members of the public for money to register the vehicles in their names.

A man accused of impersonating Deputy President William Ruto’s wife will remain in police custody for three more days for police to finish their investigations.

In a ruling on Monday, magistrate Muthoni Nzibe allowed police to continue holding Michael Mito Atito pending the completion of the probe into claims he opened a social media account using Rachel Ruto’s name and photograph.
