Almost like the raid hit a little too close to home… and the money pipeline got cut off This is when… A Somali national living in Maine posted a MURDER BOUNTY on social media targeting a local journalist who publicly exposed widespread welfare fraud within the state's Somali immigrant community— Gov. Janet Mills had close ties.

This is what was posted…
"KAN HAWAADA KU CUUN DHIIGIISA 50SH BAA NAGU SOO HAGAAJIYE"

English translation:
"Let this one's blood be spilled in the air (i.e., let him be killed publicly/brutally).
50 camels are enough for us to get this done."

(Note: Offering 50 camels is a traditional Somali way of placing a high-value blood bounty or reward for killing someone. This is a direct death threat.)

Those threats and apparent murder bounties were made on Facebook after the outlet shared a Somali-language version of investigative reports detailing whistleblower allegations and state audit findings which showed that the Somali-run migrant agency had over-billed MaineCare by nearly $800,000 from Jan. 1, 2017 to Dec. 31, 2018.

Gateway Community Services, a “migrant agency” Ali founded in 2014, has billed the state of Maine roughly $5 million per year for MaineCare services while simultaneously receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in no-bid contracts from the administration of Gov. Janet Mills (D).

Abdi Najib Abdullahi and Ayanle Abdullahi Aden, both of whom are relatives of Gateway Community Services CEO Abdullahi Ali. The threats were published in a series of Somali-language Facebook posts that targeted Jubbaland Media and attempted to dox the journalist who controls the account.
