MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) – Muktar Robow, former deputy leader of Al-Shabaab is being provided with a $7,000 monthly stipend and is even pursuing a masters degree, Somalia’s national intelligence and Security Agency confirmed.
Internal Security Minister Abdullahi Nur has asked for informationon the detained former militant leader.
Nur said the family of Robow complained to him about the health of their kin following the media interview in October.
In his response to Nur, Yasin Farey said Robow does not meet the conditions for release since he has not denounced terrorism.
Farey said Robow is in good health contrary to a VOA interview on October 2021 where Robow said his health was failing.
Robow surrendered to government forces in Baidoa in August 2017 and later plunged into politics.
