Tanzanian tycoon Mohamed Salim Bakhressa divorced his wife of four years, Nasra Abdulwahab Ahmed, five years ago in Mombasa after he accused her of misusing Sh452 million he sent her to bank over time in the family account.

The couple were divorced in the Kadhi Court in Mombasa after Bakhressa accused her of swindling him while he was abroad on a business trip. According to Civil Suit 192 of 2006 filed by Bakhressa seeking orders to take some property following the divorce at the Mombasa High Court, the tycoon claimed Nasra and her brother stole his title deeds, sale agreements, bank statements and files with vital information with intent to defraud.
