Minnesota Medicaid used to buy mansions? $90M Somali fraud ROCKED by Nairobi real estate connection

Federal investigations have uncovered a trail of transactions linking a Minnesota Medicaid fraud suspect to luxury real estate investments in Nairobi, Kenya. Muhammad Omar, 32, from Roseville, Minnesota, is under scrutiny as court filings reveal a series of overseas wire transfers amounting to significant sums directed toward upscale properties in Nairobi. According to the court documents, Omar initiated these wire transfers early in 2025. On February 5, a transfer of over three million Kenyan shillings, equivalent to approximately $26,356 USD, was made to a Nairobi-based real estate firm. These funds were designated for a property identified as "Blossom Ivy Residence A802," a unit within a newly developed luxury high-rise located in the Kileleshwa neighbourhood, a prestigious area in Nairobi.
