The High Court has dismissed an application by the State to seize a Sh110 million apartment and Sh8.6 million cash from a former Somalia government diplomat, Gibriel Cusman Moxamed, over suspected links to a terrorist in Yemen.

The State, through the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA), claimed that the apartment, which is located along Eldama Ravine Road in Westlands, Nairobi, and the cash held in three accounts at I&M Bank were proceeds of terrorism-related activities and money laundering.
