A mobile phone repair technician is fighting a court case for using specialised electronic equipment to hack into M-Kopa’s security systems, allowing mobile phones acquired on credit to remain operational without customers completing their instalments.
Investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) linked Benjamin Okello to the unauthorised alteration of 26 phones belonging to M-Kopa Kenya, with forensic analysis indicating that 365 mobile phones had passed through flashing tools recovered from his repair shop in Mradi area in Mathare, Nairobi.
