Sir Mo Farah ‘hounded for money’ by man whose name he took when he came to UK as Olympian forced to take action

MR. The man whose name Mo Farah took is said to have harassed him for money.

After a 2022 TV appearance, the 41-year-old Olympic hero allegedly volunteered to assist the other Mo, but it became into emotional blackmail.

It’s very sad, according to a source.

Sir Mo says his namesake’s constant demands for money have forced him to alter his phone number.

When he was nine years old and illegally smuggled to the UK, the four-time Olympic gold champion adopted the name of a child named Mo Farah.

It is believed that Sir Mo has sent up to 5,000 to his namesake, and he pledged to keep in contact.

However, after obtaining the long-distance star’s mobile number, the other Mo, 40, and about ten other people are accused of harassing him for money.

According to sources, Sir Mo hasn’t spoken to his namesake in months since he views it as emotional blackmail.

According to a source, Sir Mo believed he was being stalked and tormented.

He has retreated a step. Though he didn’t want to cause a scene, he decided it would be best to stay out of it.

His phone number has to be changed. Sir Mo shouldn’t have to put up with this.

He considers himself the victim. He simply feels exhausted and finds it quite depressing.

The two were reunited on BBC’s The Real Mo Farah, where Sir Mo disclosed that he was trafficked to the UK after his mother left him and his twin Hassan to live with relatives after his father perished in the civil war in Somalia.

The athlete disclosed that his true name is Hussein Abdi Kahin and that, in 1993, he flew to Heathrow using Mo Farah’s passport from a child.

Later on in the show, Sir Mo followed his namesake to his study location in Istanbul, Turkey.

However, the genuine Mo now alleges that they haven’t spoken since December 2023 and that Sir Mo broke a pledge to obtain a visa for him.

“Mo got what he wanted and now he doesn’t care whether I live or die,” the other Mo claimed, speaking from his home in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. He promised to stop using my name and return it to me, among other things.

Even though he told me he wanted to stop living a lie, he continues to do so.

He promised to assist me obtain a tourist visa so I could travel to England to see my mother, but I’ve been waiting for two years and nothing has come of it.

After winning two gold medals in London in 2012 and Rio in 2016, Sir Mo rose to become the greatest long-distance runner in the world. He and his wife, Tania, have four children together. However, tragedy has plagued his namesake’s life.

According to the other Mo, my mother left me in Nairobi with her older sister Amina, and when she passed away in 2005 from kidney failure, everything in my life collapsed.

My goal was to play cricket. I participated in Kenya Under-19 tryouts, and I would have had a lot more opportunities if I had accepted the visa and relocated to England.

Only after the 2012 Olympics did the other Mo realize his connection to Sir Mo.

“Do you know the athlete, Mo Farah?” asked several uncles who were in town from the UK, he claimed. Are you aware of his use of your name? It was unbelievable to me.

When he was running to the finish line, I cheered him on TV and said, “Go, Mo.”

I was a huge admirer. I didn’t try to contact him, though, even at that point.

We communicated for the first time when Kinsi, Sir Mo’s adopted aunt, messaged me on Facebook and said, “Mo is looking for you.” He will give it his all for you. He will return your name to you and take you overseas.

We continued to communicate via the phone, and the TV crew kept me hidden in a hotel for six weeks after the program aired to ensure that no one could find me.

A BBC producer even talked about doing a follow-up documentary where I would see Sir Mo in London, but it didn’t work out.

Sources close to Sir Mo gave a different explanation for the relationship’s breakdown last night. According to an insider, Sir Mo is sympathetic. As a child, this individual was also a casualty of circumstances beyond his control. However, Mo is not accountable for it. It is obvious that the adults who were in charge of them did not carry out their duties well.

However, Mo shouldn’t use his power to change any immigration laws or procedures in the UK. On the contrary.

It is not Mo’s responsibility to resolve this. Nevertheless, Mo has maintained personal touch with Somali Mo for several years.

When Mo had to separate himself in the summer, communication stopped. Every time Mo posts something on social media that would give the impression that he has made money—a contract with Nike, for example—they ask him why he hasn’t delivered money.

The other Mo argued last night that I’m not a bad guy. I would never advise somebody to pursue him. I don’t know who has been doing this because I didn’t give anyone his phone. No one in my family is involved.

When I last messaged him, I stated, “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer my call.” I will act in my own best interests, and you will act in yours.

Sir Mo was asked for his thoughts.
