Speaking after the court session, Lawyer Danstan Omari representing Rahma Abdullahi Adam who was duped said they had written to the DPP to fast track the matter and charge the him alongside his other accomplices who are yet to be arrested.

It is alleged that Abdullahi Abdi Hussein, who has since been fired by Taaj money transfer used fraudulent means to gain her trust into believing that he could help her invest her hard-earned money into real estate.

According to Rahma, the ex-Taaj money transfer manager who is currently out Sh 100,000 and awaiting to take plea before Kibera Law Courts on February 5, 2025, approached her on May 2, 2024 with a business proposal of opening a new branch and intended her to buy stake in the new branch going for USD 100,000.

The woman driven by desire to invest in her country and improve the lives of her children and immediate family handed over the said money to Taaj Money transfer agent in Minneapolis.
