M-Pesa attendant mmoja Garissa alidhani anasaidiwa kufanya line upgrade. Dakika chache baadaye, line yake ilikuwa imeswap na fedha zikahamishwa kwenda account nyingine.
Polisi sasa wamemkamata Edwin Mugoi, ambaye DCI inamtuhumu kujifanya Safaricom agent na kuwalenga M-Pesa attendants katika Garissa Town na maeneo ya karibu.
Incident ya hivi karibuni ilitokea eneo la Posta, Bulla Hodhan, ambapo DCI inasema Mugoi alimkaribia attendant akidai anaweza kumfanyia line upgrade.
Badala yake, anadaiwa kuswap SIM line na kuitumia kuhamisha fedha kwenda account nyingine.
Baada ya report kufanywa, officers wa Garissa Police Station walimkamata muda mfupi baadaye.
Kilichopatikana kwake ndicho sasa kinaongeza maswali kuhusu ukubwa wa operation hiyo.
Polisi walirecover multiple SIM cards, mobile phones nne, SIM-card registration gadgets mbili na chargers nne - vifaa ambavyo DCI inaamini vinaweza kuwa vilitumika katika alleged fraud.
Suspect bado hajapatikana na hatia mahakamani na anatarajiwa kufikishwa kortini huku investigations zikiendelea.
