Jordanian arrested for visa offences after alleged Bondi attackers visited his coffee shop during Philippines stay

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

A Jordanian national, Mohammad Odeh Saleh, was arrested in the Philippines for overstaying his visa and engaging in business without proper documentation. Saleh's coffee shop in Davao City was reportedly visited by Sajid Akram and his son, Naveed, the alleged perpetrators of the December 2025 Bondi beach terrorist attack in Sydney. Philippine authorities are investigating the Akrams' month-long stay in Mindanao Island and Saleh's potential connection to them. While an initial investigation hasn't established Saleh's direct involvement in terrorist activities, he remains a person of interest due to his association with the Akrams. Saleh had been living in the Philippines since 2023, but his visa expired in March 2025.
