Imamu ashtakiwa kulaghai muumini Sh774,000 kwa ahadi ya safari ya kuhiji Mecca

Imamu wa msikiti mjini Malindi, Omar Athman Omar, ameshtakiwa kwa kumlaghai muumini Mohamed Salim Bahlewa Sh774,000 kwa ahadi ya kumpeleka kuhiji Mecca wakati wa Ramadhan. Kiongozi huyo wa kidini alikana shtaka na akaomba dhamana, akisema ni kiongozi shupavu na hawezi kushiriki katika rushwa. Mahakama ya Milimani imemrudisha rumande hadi Februari 10, 2026.

Katika kesi iliyosikilizwa mbele ya Hakimu Mkuu Lucas Onyina katika Mahakama ya Milimani, Imamu Omar Athman Omar alishtakiwa kwa ulaghai dhidi ya Mohamed Salim Bahlewa kati ya Desemba 18 na 19, 2026. Kulingana na maelezo ya mshtakiwa, aliondoka Kenya Desemba 9, 2025, kwenda Saudi Arabia kushughulikia masuala ya kidini. Wakati akiwa nje ya nchi, mlalamishi alimpa pesa Sh774,000 ili kufanikisha safari yake ya kuhiji Mecca.

Imamu Omar alirudi Kenya Februari 7, 2026, lakini alikamatwa mara tu alipofika Uwanja wa Ndege wa Jomo Kenyatta. Alieleza mahakama: “Nilipofika uwanja wa ndege wa Jomo Kenyatta –JKIA- nilitoa pasipoti yangu kwa afisa wa idara ya uhamiaji ikaguliwe. Mara hiyo hiyo nilitiwa nguvuni nikapelekwa kituo cha polisi cha Kilimani na sikupata fursa ya kuwasiliana na mlalamishi.” Alidai kuwa alitiwa nguvuni kama gaidi bila sababu.

Mshtakiwa alikana kabisa shtaka la ulaghai na akaomba kuachiliwa kwa dhamana, akisisitiza jukumu lake kama kiongozi wa kidini. Hakimu Onyina alimwamuru arudishwe rumande hadi Februari 10, 2026, ili kuamua juu ya ombi la dhamana. Kesi hii inaangazia changamoto zinazowakabili viongozi wa kidini katika masuala ya kifedha na imani ya wafuasi wao.
