Social media platforms erupted after the arrest of poet and TV host Najah Al-Masaeed’s husband, accused of stealing over five million UAE dirhams. Here’s the full story behind the shocking case.
The case of Najah Al-Masaeed, the Emirati poet and media figure of Jordanian origin, has sparked major controversy after she revealed being robbed of a large sum of money — around 5 million UAE dirhams. Later, she shocked the public by confirming that the main suspect was her husband, Amer Rukad Al-Sardi.
According to official reports, Jordanian security forces arrested Al-Sardi early Tuesday in Amman after tracking him down. During interrogation, he confessed to the theft, and authorities recovered about 1.6 million dirhams of the stolen amount, while investigations continue to locate the rest.
Who is Amer Rukad Al-Sardi?
Amer Rukad Al-Sardi is a Jordanian businessman and former officer, widely known after marrying Najah Al-Masaeed in 2019 in a grand ceremony held in Amman attended by numerous public figures. He hails from one of the well-known northern Jordanian tribes and later turned to business ventures across the Gulf region.
Who is Najah Al-Masaeed?
Najah Al-Masaeed is one of the most prominent poets in the Gulf, born in Mafraq, Jordan. She rose to fame in the 1990s for her unique style of Nabati poetry and hosted several TV programs that promoted young poetic talents, earning her the nickname “Poet of the Desert.”
The Incident and Her Reaction
In a heartfelt video, Al-Masaeed appeared tearful, saying: “God’s will shall prevail. The pain isn’t in the money — it’s in the betrayal.” She vowed to move forward with strength and rebuild her life, as she has always done through perseverance and faith.
Age and Relationship Details
Amer Al-Sardi is 35 years old, several years younger than Najah. Their age difference had sparked discussion when they married, but Najah stated that mutual respect and understanding were the foundation of their relationship, not numbers.
