On October 1, 2019, police arrested three suspects accused of stealing over Ksh.970,000 from a 67-year-old woman's Equity Bank account.
The suspects, Anthony Babu Kaira, Kelvin Maina, and Joseph Kariuki, were arrested in an intelligence operation by DCI detectives in Thika West.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspects used the mobile banking application to wire the money out of Faith Wanjiku's account in four transactions.
"The amount was transacted in four series using the Eazzy App in the sequence; Antony Kaira (Ksh.300,030), Kelvin Maina (Ksh. 300,030), Vivian Jelagat (Ksh300,030) and Ksh. 70K to various Equitel phone numbers," said the DCI.
