The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has arrested a man suspected of hacking into the mobile phone of former Central Police Station boss Samson Talaam and using it to defraud members of the public.

In a status report presented before the Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday, the DCI said the phone, which had been confiscated by the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) as part of investigations into the murder of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang, was fraudulently accessed and used for criminal activity.
