Unknown gangs have last night shot dead a government soldier in south-west Somali city of Baidoa, reports say
The assailants attacked the soldiers as he walked out a barber where he had his hair cut near the groceries market and shot him on the spot.
The deceased was attached to the government’s revenue collection department in the city.
The gangs immediately fled the scene of the incident. TFG soldiers who arrived at the scene conducted search operations to nab the assailants but no arrests were so far made in connection with the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility of the attack but suspicion is likely to fall on Al-Shabaab militants who were dislodged from the city by government troops backed Ethiopian forces a month ago.
The incident comes days after Somalia’s military court sentenced over 50 suspects who were accused of committing criminal offences in the city.
