“On July 15, 2021, Khadija Abdi Mohamud imported goods that included motor vehicle tyres and electronic goods which were destined for South Sudan, where she supplies to local traders,” said the DCI.

“The goods were received at the port of Mombasa, cleared and were on their way to their destination before they were diverted to Ruiru. After the merchandise failed to arrive at its intended destination within the stipulated period, Khadija filed a police report regarding its disappearance forcing detectives to swing into action.”
