Mogadishu (Sunatimes) Members of the public in Wardigley district and police officers have jointly started cleaning the area police station days after Al-Shabaab pulled out of the area.

Some of the local volunteers taking part in the cleaning initiative said they volunteered to clean the station after the militia withdrew from the area and entire Mogadishu.

Police have been deployed in pockets of Mogadishu where Al-Shabaab has abandoned late last week, with security personnel already keeping vigil in safe guarding civilian population in the area.

Locals however received newly deployed police presence in the area, promising to work with them in securing their area from armed militias orchestrating criminal activities aimed at weakening the prevailing law and order in the area.
