Al Shabaab fighters carried a brazen assassination targeting a former district official in the Lower Jubba province of Somalia.
The Militants reportedly overran a home belonging to an Ex district commissioner identified as Mohamed Bile, whose the former district commissioner of the Qooqaani district.
Its been revealed that insurgents bursted in through the door and began immediately opening fire on Mohamed Bile, killing him instantly, than the Al Shabaab fighters disarmed and abducted the armed body guard assigned to Mohamed Bile.
The Al Aqaeda affiliated armed group Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the assassination of Mohamed Bile in a statement released on the Pro Militant radio station dubbed Andalus.
The broadcast via Radio Andalus accused the deceased Mohamed Bile of collaborating with the Kenyan occupation, which has ruled over Somalia’s Jubba Valley over the past 8 years, folllwing Kenya’s invasion of Somalia in late 2011.
The district of Qooqaani has been under the tight control of the Kenyan Defense Force (KDF) since 2012, which has raised many questions on how militants can breach and penetrate the vicinity of such a secure town.
The Kenyan military maintains one of its largest military bases in Somalia in the district of Qooqaani. The Kenyans have similar military outposts and bases in the districts of Hoosimgoow, Kulbiyow, Kismaayo, Ras Kambooni and Dhoobley just to name a few.
