Its actually very ok this scenario. A  calls B  who has diverted calls to C
From a network point of view (Switching and Billing) we have two  calls here. The first call is A to B   and the  second call    B is calling C.
 A  may not know that his call is diverted if there are no corresponding announcements put on the switch to relay such info. The only Party who does not pay here is C.
Note that CDR (Call Detail Records) are generated for both calls. B must have airtime to initiate a call to C. This scenario has been there since Kencell and Safcom launced.
