The Kenya Police later asked Gathigi for details of what happened and tagged Safaricom as M-Pesa was mentioned in the robbery.
“Morning Gathigi. Kindly let us know where the case was reported and the number the money was sent to. You can also give us your friend’s contacts,” posted Kenya police on their twitter handle.
An hour late, the Kenya police were blocked by Safaricom.
The Kenya police, however, later posted that Safaricom had unblocked them.
