A Minnesota daycare worker who said enrollment documents were stolen from his facility was accused of wearing $2,500 glasses at a press conference announcing the burglary.
Nasrulah Mohamed, a manager at Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis, seemed to be wearing a pair of Chrome Hearts Cox Ucker Black frames at a press conference Wednesday discussing the break-in.
Mohamed said Nokomis was broken into after YouTube star Nick Shirley claimed Somali-run daycare centers across the city were fronts for fraud.
He said that enrollment documents, staff paperwork and checkbooks had been taken.
Minnesota has been engulfed by a huge scandal after more than 80 Somali residents were charged with defrauding taxpayer-funded state programs.
Mohamed suggested Nokomis had been targeted as a result. Shirley did not visit Nokomis for his video and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing or impropriety on the part of the facility or Mohamed himself.
At the same press conference, a Somali mother took to the podium and urged the government to provide more support for the state’s underfire childcare centers – speaking through an interpreter while making the plea.
‘I request that our government supports our childcare centers and stop this heinous crime and this hate that’s happening around our state,’ Sacdiya Aden said in her native language.
Aden also faced backlash for speaking through an interpreter, identified as Amina Adin, with some critics mocking her for not speaking English directly.
