Mogadishu (Halbeeg News) – A Somali National Army soldier was executed by firing squad in Abudwaq, Galgaduud region, after being convicted of premeditated murder.
According to local court officials, Mohamed Kafi Abdi confessed to intentionally killing a man named Duran Jama Mohamed and requested to face the death penalty as retribution for the killing.
The execution was overseen by officials from the Galgaduud Regional Court, who reiterated that individuals convicted of deliberate murder would face the same fate under the law.
The event underscores the enforcement of Islamic Sharia law in the region, which mandates the death penalty for those found guilty of murder.
So far this year, nearly ten people, including both civilians and soldiers, have been executed in Abudwaq following convictions for premeditated killings.
