While on the other hand they claim he is an ISIL recruiter, they claim he forged a letter of attorney from the Saudi Prince yet the Prince has not complained," Ombeta said. The lawyer said that senior Immigration officer Abraham Mwaura has confirmed that the Somalia passport being held by Abubakar is genuine and verified by the Somalia government. Under the arrangement, the Saudi Prince in 2010 leased 100,000 acres from the Agriculture Development Corporation on the Galana Ranch, in Kilifi county, for 16 years under a renewable contract. Abubakar has twice been arrested at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in July and at the Malindi courts in March after unknown individuals told police that he was travelling on a fake Somalia passport. But on both occasions, the Immigration office has confirmed from the Somalia government that the document is genuine.
