Somali military yesterday Sunday, January 3, executed a soldier by firing
squad after he was convicted of killing a civilian. He was strapped to
wooden posts in scrubland and riddled with bullets.
Military court assistant, Abdullahi Husein Mohamed told journalists on
the spot that Mahiye Dyayow, 26, was convicted of killing a civilian in
the town.
"On July 4, 2015 the first degree court of the military sat for the
punishment case against defendant Mahiye Dyayow, aged 26 and who is
ex-Security Agency soldier. On 10th February 2015, he killed late
Mohamed Qassim Borow. This will serve a good example to all government
forces, which should ensure reliable peace. This is to avoid killings
and safeguard our Somali people. Any soldier who kills a person or loots
property or food at the market or in refugee camps will be executed
likewise." Mohamed added.
