As covered in our previous article, Noor Jeizan, a widow of the late Anwar Bayusuf – Mombasa Tycoon, was shocked when four of her vehicles and other assets were seized by the bank in a loan they claim they owe to the late Anwar.
In a startling development, the bank claims Mr.Anwar applied for the loan long after he died, as many people are still shocked at how a man who died over a decade ago has been given a loan that has not been received by anyone.
DTB has no proof of such transactions; the manager and the credit department heads who verified and gave out the loans are not known, while there is absolutely no documentation pointing to any loan extended to the late Anwar Bayusuf.
The widow of the late Mombasa tycoon, Mohamed Bayusuf, is urging the justice system to expedite her decade-long legal battle involving her late husband’s company, Anwar Mohamed Bayusuf Limited, and a local lender.
Noor Jeizan, Bayusuf’s widow, through the family’s spokesperson and civil rights groups, has appealed to the Chief Justice to hasten the judicial process, citing delays in her case against Diamond Trust Bank (DTB).
However, the family, represented by spokesperson Abdallah Baqor, asserts that the bank’s claims are questionable, and they have been struggling to obtain justice.
According to Baqor, the loan was purportedly issued after Bayusuf’s death.
“We appreciate the government for allowing us to air our grievances. It’s concerning that the bank is ignoring all directives from relevant authorities regarding this case,” Baqor stated.
The widow’s plight has drawn attention from human rights activists, who have now joined the call for justice.
Farida Rashid, a women’s rights advocate, emphasized the need for the Chief Justice to intervene and ensure the case is resolved promptly.
“We will not give up this fight. It’s disheartening to see a poor widow being subjected to this level of injustice,” Rashid said.
Karama Yahya, another civil rights advocate, urged the government to intervene in the case, which has dragged on for over a decade since Bayusuf died in 2010.
“It is unfortunate that the bank has defied the court’s orders,” Yahya remarked, calling on the government to protect the rights of widows and orphans in similar disputes.
The case is currently being heard in a criminal court, where investigations are ongoing.
