The court heard that the accused person, Nandwa, was working as a software developer with Ronford Digital Limited and was tasked with improving both the mobile banking system and retail banking operations for NCBA Bank’s Rwandan subsidiary.
The court heard that the accused person later failed to do as agreed.
The said Rwandan subsidiaries operate via the MTN mobile network.
According to the evidence tabled in court, the accused person, Nandwa, is said to have used tricks to exploit his access to the bank’s codebase and made unauthorized amendments to the system.
These changes, implemented through a logic alteration, allegedly enabled integration services that allowed unauthorized withdrawals from the Rwandan system.
According to the court papers, the modifications reportedly allowed 70 NCBA Bank customers in Rwanda to carry out 260 transactions, resulting in a total loss of USD 446,000 (approximately Ksh 57.5 million).
According to the Banking Fraud Investigations Unit, Nandwa was presented before Milimani Magistrate Benmark Ekhubi, seeking a 10-day custodial period to complete investigations and forward the case to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The court allowed the detectives five working days to hold the suspect as investigations proceed. (June 18)
