Police officers from Garissa Police Station have arrested a notorious M-Pesa fraudster who has been swindling hardworking M-Pesa shop attendants in Garissa town and surrounding areas.
The incident unfolded when an M-Pesa shop attendant in the Posta Area in Bulla Hodhan fell victim to the cunning tactics of Edwin Mugoi, who posed as a Safaricom agent.
With deception at his fingertips, Mugoi approached the unsuspecting attendant, pretending to offer a line upgrade.
Little did the attendant know he was about to lose both his phone line and a significant sum of money, as Mugoi swapped the line and fraudulently transferred funds to another account.
Thanks to swift action by the police officers Mugoi was arrested shortly after the incident. Officers conducted a thorough search and recovered multiple SIM cards, four mobile phones, two SIM card registration gadgets, and four chargers, all tools of his trade.
Edwin Mugoi is now behind bars, as he undergoes processing ahead of his arraignment.
