Police arrested the man on Sunday after he was seduced by a man in a local bar in the area, who went ahead and booked a lodging where he discovered that he was not a woman.

The man has reportedly been stealing from other men in bars.

The man who used the name ‘Grace’ wore a wig and make up to make people believe he was a woman.

Mumias residents say the man is part of a gang of men who con unsuspecting patrons at bars by pretending to be women.

According to Mumias OCPD Farah Mohammed, ‘Grace’ avoided an angry mob which was after him by seeking refuge at the police station.

The police boss said the suspect will however be released since no one has lodged a formal complaint against him.
