Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal
Investigations (DCI) have arrested two more suspects in connection with the SIM
card swap fraud.
The suspects Douglas Kiplimo Too and
Linda Najoli Idali, both employees of Safaricom, were arrested in Eldoret,
Uashin Gishu County, they are said to be wanted by DCI officers from Molo,
Kitale and Garsen.
The arrest of the two suspects comes
barely a day after yet another Safaricom employee who was arrested over SIM
swap related allegations was arraigned and charged with conspiracy to commit a
felony.
Maurice Michael Mosoti appearing
before Nairobi before Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi at the Milimani Law
Courts on Tuesday, pleaded to one count of conspiracy to commit a felony. He
denied the charges.
Mosoti was arrested together with
Rian Obaga Nyagaka; a fourth-year JKUAT IT student studying Bachelor of Science
in Electronic Engineering
In a statement from Safaricom last
week, the company talked tough saying they will cooperate with the police in
arresting those behind the crime.
“Safaricom takes a zero-tolerance
approach to unethical behaviour and where required we shall cooperate with law
enforcement officers in investigating and providing evidence to ensure justice
is attained,” read a statement.
“Where staff members are involved we
will take action against those who fail to adhere to our corporate governance
and ethics policies, as we have done in the past and reported in our annual
Sustainability Report.” Citizen TV report.
