Unmasking ‘Grand Mullah’ Ahmednasir Abdullahi

Publisher. Newspaper columnist. Tough advocate. Husband. Businessman. Father. Clothes horse. Hell-raiser. Arsenal FC aficionado. The Grand Mullah. Feel free to wedge any of these hats on Ahmednasir Abdullahi’s head. It will fit.

In the 1980s, Ahmednasir spent time tending to his dad’s shop in the border town of Mandera before he found his way into the city, lured and later embraced by education. Much of the rest, you already know.
