Friday February 23, 2024

Mogadishu (HOL) - Police in Mogadishu have identified the people responsible for the abduction and killing of a young man in Mogadishu's Heliwa district.

The spokesperson of the Somali Police Force, Major Sadiq Aden Ali Doodishe, told reporters on Thursday that the perpetrators who killed Abukar Ahmed Kaabah are known and will be apprehended soon.

"Investigations conducted by the security agencies have uncovered their identities, and efforts are underway to locate and apprehend them. Once captured, they will be brought to justice," said the Somali Police Spokesman.

The victim, who was a well-known figure in Heliwa, was forcibly taken from a neighborhood in the district by four men in a Toyota SUV. Residents of the Garsbaaley neighborhood reported hearing gunfire around 3:00 a.m. Wednesday night. "This morning, we found his body dumped among the trees," said one resident of Garsbaaley.

The abduction and murder add to a series of recent events that have shaken Mogadishu. Just days ago, the body of a federal government official from the breakaway region of Somaliland was discovered in the city, further heightening concerns about security in the area.
