Mahakama ya Kijeshi imetoa adhabu hiyo kwa Afisa wa Polisi aliyekutwa na hatia ya kumchoma Visu Mfanyabiashara Abdifatah Abdullahi Ali hadi kusababisha kifo chake

Hukumu imesomwa na Meja Mohamed Abdi Munin mbele ya ndugu wa Askari huyo huku mtuhumiwa akitakiwa kutojibu chochote Mahakamani hapo

Somalia imekuwa ikiripoti matukio ya Askari kuua raia kupitia ugomvi ikiwemo matukio mawili ya hivi karibuni ambapo Askari waliua watu 2 wakigombea Sigara na kikombe cha chai.

===================

A Somali military court has sentenced to death a police officer convicted of killing a civilian following an argument over a cigarette lighter.

Mohamed Abdulkadir Sheikh Ibrahim, a junior officer serving in South West, one of the five Federal Member States in Somalia, was booked for a firing squad for the murder he committed in April.

Ibrahim, who served in the police force in Afgoye town, 30 km southwest of Mogadishu, was found guilty by the court for the killing of Abdifatah Abdullahi Ali, a trader, on April 25, 2022.

Ibrahim reportedly stabbed Ali to death after the two argued over a cigarette lighter.

Firing squad
Ali’s relatives were present in the army court when Ibrahim was sentenced to face a firing squad as pronounced by Major Mohamed Abdi Mumin.

The community in Afgoye district has been stunned by incidents where locals are killed in quarrels over items worth about 10,000 Somali shillings (less than half a US dollar).

In recent incidents, a man killed another over a cigarette while another was killed over a cup of tea.

However, as the rebuilding of Somalia continues, people have been saying that killings by members of the armed forces have gone down.
