She was arrested following a trap laid by DCI detectives attached to the Immigration department.

“The suspect has been printing the birth & death certificates at her house in Kawangare & selling them to unsuspecting Kenyans. She was arrested a few days ago after detectives laid a trap for her,” said the DCI in a tweet.
