The AMISOM Deputy Force Commander on Friday apologised for an incident where five people were injured after an armoured vehicle that AMISOM uses routinely for carrying out its duties hit a civilian commuter vehicle on Thursday near KM2.

Three of the victims are being treated at Medina Hospital while the other two are being treated by expert from the force’s medical personnel at their facilities.

AMISOM Deputy Force Commander, Brigadier General Audace Nduwumunsi, apologised for what he said was actions of one of their soldier who hit a car by mistake while driving through Mogadishu injuring five occupants.

He said the force is helping to treat the injured and are investigating exactly what happened, adding that they will take every measure to avoid causing harm or injury.

“We are the friends and brothers of the Somali people and always seek to work in harmony with the population as they seek to revive their country”, said Nduwumunsi.
