Shibis police commissioner calls on residents to help improve security

Shibis police commissioner Mohamed Abdiqadir Warsame urges local residents in Shibis district to work with local security forces in order to restore peace and stability to the city.

“Security has improved greatly in the city but we want our people who live in Mogadishu to help security institutions so that, together we can further improve the security” said Warsame.

Assassinations of government workers have become a common occurrence in many parts of the town.

The commissioner said that armed criminal gangs, drug-traffickers and people with personal feuds and rivalries are taking advantage of the violence in the city.

This comes after a suicide car bomber struck the entrance of traffic police headquarters in the capital, killing four people and injuring nine others.
Two police officers were among the dead and two armed extremists who tried to storm the traffic police premises in Mogadishu’s Shangani district were shot dead.
Al-Shabab has claimed the responsibility for the attack, which has shattered a period of calm in the seaside city, Mogadishu.
Despite being pushed out of Somalia’s major cities and towns, Al-Shabab, continues to carry out deadly guerrilla attacks across the country.
