The Bondo OCPD Paul Kiarie confirmed the incident saying they were alerted by the bank’s operational manager and they arrested the student.
The victim was under investigation for having fraudulently sent Sh200, 000 to a client and deposited over Sh 21 million to M- Pesa agents in Bondo town, the transactions have since been reversed.
