How slain Bashir Mohamed moved millions of cash before murder

Bashir Mohamed Business A news report has come out to show how slain Somali-American businessman Bashir Mohamed Mohamud and his associates moved huge amounts of money to and from Somalia.

According to a report that appeared in The Star newspaper, Bashir had first “received millions of shillings from a top Somali government official before he channeled it back to various different banks. The money sometimes moved through foreign accounts before ending up in Mogadishu, which raised suspicions.”

The report went on to say that Bashir, a structural engineer and proprietor of Infinity Developers based in Nairobi, was very well connected to a top Somali government official, which made the money transfers easier to wire.

“In as much as I can’t connect the death to the money issue, there was a feeling he was channeling money to Mogadishu, which is technically at war with Kenya. It was a concern,” the newspaper quoted a senior official.

Shocking final moments of Bashir Mohamed before brutal murder

“Kenyan government officials say he was funding an enemy. But there has been no confirmation if this was the reason for his murder. In one RTGS money transfer, Bashir used a company to wire money to Sudan, which ended up in Mogadishu. He had won construction tenders worth billions of shillings in Kenya. Among them was the construction of the Sh. 700 million Kisumu market. Other contractors were involved. He once accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta in commissioning the project. It is not clear how he secured the tender,” the report went on to say on the Bashir Mohamed business ventures.
