Jumaisi, who has been the subject of an intense security manhunt, is accused of involvement in a string of gruesome killings in Kware estate, Embakasi.
The murders, which targeted young women living alone, sparked widespread fear in the neighborhood, with residents demanding swift action from authorities.
However, on Wednesday morning, drama unfolded when a man presented himself to police, insisting he is the suspect they are looking for.
Detectives are now working to verify his identity, raising questions on whether he is genuinely the wanted suspect or an impostor seeking attention or protection.
According to police sources, the man appeared nervous and disoriented, but maintained that he was Collins Jumaisi.
He reportedly gave details that investigators say must be confirmed through fingerprint and DNA profiling.
“We cannot rely purely on verbal claims. Proper identification procedures are underway,” a senior officer involved in the case stated.
Meanwhile, Kware residents remain on edge. For weeks, patrols have been intensified and plainclothes officers deployed in a bid to apprehend the perpetrator.
The situation has left many tenants living in fear, particularly young women who have been advised to remain vigilant and avoid walking alone at night.
Families of the victims have expressed hope that this development will bring closure to their painful wait for justice, but uncertainty looms until the man's identity is conclusively established.
Police say the public will be briefed once the verification process is complete.
As the investigation continues, community leaders are calling for enhanced street lighting, surveillance, and response measures to protect residents from similar attacks in the future.
