At least four Kenyans among them a widow whose husband allegedly ‘took loans using his mobile phone from the grave’ have joined a class action suit filed against Safaricom and Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) after falling victim to a SIM card swap fraud.

Ms Agnetta Makhoha says in an affidavit filed in court that her husband Anselmy Onyango Opiyo died in August last year but soon after his burial, she discovered that his mobile phone number was SIM swapped and fraudsters borrowed about Sh50,000.
