“Nobody owns government buildings, I am hereby telling the inhabitants of those places to leaves compound as soon as possible, the administration of Afgooye has placed a caveat emptor on those places and if anyone spent their money on those areas they have to admitted losses at their own risk” he said.

Specifying the occupied areas Abdikani said that their administration wants the district’s stadium, house for the government’s civil servants and the slaughterhouse of the town to be vacated.

Somali government has earlier forcefully evacuated hundreds of families living in government buildings from their houses in many town including the capital city, Mogadishu after the families turn deaf ears to the orders.
