Upon successful SIM swapping, the suspect is granted full access to the victim’s online accounts. Some of the SIM cards recovered by the DCI. The 21-year-old believed to have previously worked for one of Kenya’s mobile phone networks was arrested on Friday morning and a gunny bag full of SIM cards belonging to Safaricom, Airtel and Telcom mobile phone service providers recovered. “His arrest followed a joint operation by detectives and Safaricom investigators after the suspect swindled an Mpesa agent an unspecified amount of money,” the DCI said. The suspect was arrested in Juja by sleuths from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, supported by Safaricom’s fraud investigations team and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology security officers.
