See What 2 Suspected Al Shabaab Financiers Have Been Doing Without The Government’s Knowledge
Following an attack on Garissa University College which left 147 people dead, the government quickly moved and suspended 86 individuals and forex bureaus whom it suspected were behind the financing of Al Shabaab who have continued to ravage the country with unnecessary killings.
And after the government started thorough investigations on the suspended entities, two directors of a blacklisted forex bureau have been found guilty after the court was told they were operating without a license.
The directors of the Sky Forex Limited have been charged for operating without a license. The two were charged at the Milimani Law Courts with transacting a foreign exchange business without a license from the Central Bank of Kenya.
The Banking Fraud Unit in an affidavit presented in court says that the two are being investigated for money laundering activities.
It was said that the suspects operate several bank accounts with Equity Bank.
Mr Abdi Rashid Jama Ibrahim and Mr Ali Mohammed Xirsi appeared in court early today to face the charges.
The prosecution’s application for a three day extended detention of the suspects was granted and the suspects are held at Kileleshwa Police Station.
The suspects were arrested on 12 this month at Rehema House, 5th floor along Kaunda Street and police have been carrying out investigations.
