In the African setting, a woman is supposed to be the pillar her husband can lean on whenever things are not going right. Women are seen as the voice of the community and as such are expected to promote morality and shun evil and violence.
What therefore happens when a woman decides to give a blind eye to the happenings around her? What happens if a woman provides a breading ground for evil? Well, chaos and more chaos come by just as in the case of Khalid’s widow who did nothing to try and stop her husband’s evil ways.
The Kenya police, in a bid to get their facts right arrested Khalid’s widow and father and with their arrest came more shocking revelations.
Khalid and his squad had apparently planned another terror attack in Mombasa but details of the target location still remain scanty.
The details emerged yesterday after the father and widow of DusitD2 suicide bomber Mahir Khalid Riziki were set free after lengthy questioning.
The father, who is yet to be identified, and widow Suhaila Mwalim Bakari were arrested at Majengo and Bakarani areas respectively.
In Truecaller, Bakari’s mobile number’s name appears as ‘Lengo Ni Jannah’ which means the goal is paradise
Bakari was initially picked up by detectives for questioning on January 7, a week before the Dusit attack.
Reports indicate Riziki had informed his wife that he was in Nairobi for unspecified reasons three days prior to the incident.
He is reported to have sent a large sum of money to the widow and cautioned her to spend the cash wisely.
Riziki, aged 25, dropped out of Form One at Bhadala Secondary School in Mombasa in 2011. He married Bakari in 2012.
Police believe that Riziki was a close associate of Ismail Mohammed Shosi, a member of al Shabaab’s hit squad that targeted police officers.
He is believed to have operated from Boni Forest
