Fraudsters posing as SHA detained by police

A man who was conned thousands of shillings in a well-orchestrated fraud scheme involving suspects posing as officials from the Social Health Authority (SHA) has recounted how he was duped into believing he was signing up for an official membership. Jacob Makunyi says he lost more than sh287,000 after he handed over his phone to the fraudsters for a purported SHA registration. Within minutes, his bank account had been wiped clean and the suspects went on to take out salary advances and loans using his details. The four suspects were arrested on Friday and are currently in custody as investigations continue.
