Goobjoog Media Group director Hassan Mohamud arrested by police in Mogadishu

Goobjoog Media Group director Hassan Mohamud has been arrested by criminal investigational department, CID officers following an interview aired by Goobjoog News sister station Goobjoog FM Tuesday.

Mohamud was arrested some minutes to noon local time after officers from the criminal department called him to their offices upon which he was arrested.

Goobjoog Media Group Marketing manager Bashir Mohamud confirmed the arrest to Goobjoog News noting the circumstances of his arrest still largely remained scanty but indications point to the story aired on Goobjoog FM Wednesday night. “The director was arrested by the police this afternoon but we do not have sufficient information about why he was arrested. We however suspect he was arrested following a story in which Goobjoog FM interviewed a member of parliament from Galmudug last night,” said Bashir.
