Nokomis Daycare Center, a Somali-owned facility in south Minneapolis, reported a break-in on December 30-31, 2025, claiming burglars stole sensitive records—including child enrollment documents, employee files, and checkbooks—amid intense scrutiny of alleged fraud in Minnesota’s childcare programs.
Manager Nasrulah Mohamed held a press conference on December 31, describing vandalism (e.g., a hole in the wall) and the theft as devastating, linking it to hateful threats sparked by a viral YouTube video from Nick Shirley alleging widespread fraud in Somali-run daycares. The center, licensed for up to 71 children, was not featured in Shirley’s video but reported receiving racist voicemails and threats afterward. Community advocates, including CAIR-MN, called it a hate-motivated act tied to online misinformation.
Minneapolis police confirmed vandalism and a break-in but initially reported no items stolen. Later updates referenced the daycare’s claims of missing documents, though some reports note inconsistencies, such as damage appearing to originate from inside. Social media and conservative outlets widely mocked the timing, suggesting it was a fabricated excuse to destroy evidence amid federal probes into billions in potential fraud across Minnesota human services programs.

The man claiming to be the “owner” of Somali Nokomis Daycare is standing by his story, alleging the facility was broken into and that student enrollment files and employee records were stolen.
Minneapolis Police, however, say those claims don’t hold up. Investigators report no evidence of a break-in, no signs of forced entry, and no confirmation that anything was taken from the daycare.
Authorities say their findings directly contradict the owner’s account, adding to the growing scrutiny and unanswered questions surrounding the facility.
How stupid is this guy that he thinks the general public and the police are as dumb as the government officials who handled out the money?
