Confirming the arrest, the area security boss Farah Mo’alim Ali told Sunatimes that Bashir Mohamed Gulleid is now being held in area central jail where he awaits murder charges.

He said Gulleid will soon stand trial for the alleged killing of Sa’id Ali Shire who he allegedly gunned down on Saturday under unknown circumstances.

The arrest comes just a day after the group’s administration in Herale district executed a man for allegedly killing a prominent local Sheikh in Herale town.
