MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) – Newly built Wadajir District offices have been reopened today barely a year after a car bomb destroyed the premises.
Benadir Governor, Abdirahman Omar Osman who attended the cutting ribbon ceremony of the offices has commended the local authorities and the residents of the district for the role to build the headquarters of the district.
Mr. Osman has urged the locals to work with security agencies to thwart attacks by Al-Shabaab.
“To improve the security of this district needs cooperation between the law enforcement agencies and the residents. If you work together you can overcome the challenges,” he said.
He said his administration will support the local authorities to deliver the social services and secure the district.
“My administration is committed to work closely with you but we need you to play the major role because your commitment will lead to success,” he said.
Late June last year, a suicide car bomber posing as a fruit delivery van driver detonated explosives at the district headquarters.
The powerful blast destroyed the offices and compound of the building.
