The fraud allegedly involved a group of suspects who coordinated the scheme after being invited by insurance broker Daniel Kashima.

Kandenge says Kashima played a central role in accessing policy information belonging to businessman Andalberd Shilongo through his professional dealings as an insurance broker.

Those linked to the matter include Kashima, former Old Mutual employee Wilbard Anstino, Moono Shoopala, Michael Ndashaala, Shoopala Moongo and former Momentum Metropolitan employee Apollos Haupindi.
