A police report has exposed a Kenyan woman who has been sending millions of money to Somalia-based Al Shabaab group.
The woman is said to operate several businesses in Nairobi's Umoja estate, from which she collects money in terms of rent and remits it to her sons and daughter who joined the terror group.
The businesswoman, who has been on police radar, is said to be using conduits to send the money to his son identified as Erick Ogada aka Ibrahim Ogada, her daughter Dorcas Kilingo and son-in-law Kennedy Mwok aka Anwar.
According to the report, the suspect, who is being hunted down, also owns a lorry and a residential house in Kamulu whose proceeds she also sends to her kins.
"The properties, which are registered under her son's name, include a residential house in Umoja and a one-storey commercial building at Nasra area in Nairobi," the police report was quoted by the Standard.
Since 2013, the woman is said to have already sent more than Sh4 Million which has facilitated attacks both inside and outside the country.
Anwar, one of the militants who benefits from the money, has reportedly participated in several attacks including an ambush on a security facility in Lamu and the 2014 Mpeketoni attack which left dozens of Kenyans dead.
“Such facilitation has enabled Anwar to participate in previous gruesome attacks within the country, including the June 2014 Mpeketoni attack and June 2015 attacks in Baure against innocent Kenyans,” reads the report.
The suspect reportedly uses third parties in Mombasa and Eastleigh who then forward the money to Somalia.
