A Kasarani police officer cried like a baby while being arrested by detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for soliciting a Ksh. 30,000 bribe.

 Paul Kamau Mbugua was apprehended at a liquor store on Lumumba Drive after demanding a bribe to free two brothers whom he had unlawfully arrested and imprisoned at Kasarani Police Station.

According to the EACC, Mbugua failed to register the brothers' alleged crimes in the station's occurrence book.
