An artist who was held captive by the National Intelligence & Security Agency (NISA) since August has been killed days after his release in Mogadishu.
The artist sang a song in August shedding light on the jailing of people who publicized the death of their loved ones through explosions & any journalist reporting on the attacks by the NISA state agency.
Traditional elders from the singer’s community traveled to Dhuusamareeb to plead with President Hassan Sheikh for the release of their kin jailed by NISA without an arrest warrant. NISA director Mahad Salad was vehemently against setting the singer free and shared his protestations with the president who overruled his request to keep him detained.
After the singer’s freedom was secured, he went out with 13 close friends and family to a family owned joint called Baar Bulsho, a secure restaurant near the Presidential Palace where a suicide bomber detonated his vest killing him alongside others.
Given how this all played out, the sequence of such tragic events there is growing strong suspicion linking the agency & its director to the death of this artist whose only doing was exposing daily occurrences of security lapses in Mogadishu.
#Somalia
HSM nd his damjadiid mafia with mud baths, are trying to distract peaple in strange ways as they are now planning how to create Chaos and acts of terror in #Galmudug and #KGS! Pay attention other side.
Looks like Damujadid’s house is on fire and the Farmaajo attacks are distraction from the colossal failures of @HassanSMohamud.
Am 💯 sure that it’s not about security but it’s about the upcoming purge of Daljir wing of govt. #HSMfailedSomalia
