MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) – Somali President, Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has called upon the police force to maintain human rights during their efforts to ensure security.
The head of state has also urged the law and order agency to improve their relationship with members of the public.
President Farmajo was speaking during a surprise visit to Banadir police headquarters on Sunday evening where he held meeting with the Somali Police Force Commissioner, General Bashir Abdi Mohamed, Deputy Police Commissioner, Colonel Zakia Hussein and commanders of the police stations across the city.
