Armed gangs last night shot dead a village elder in southwest Somali city of Baidoa, reports say.

The gangs reportedly attacked Adan Hayle, near his home in Baidoa’s Bardale neighbourhood.

Four hooded gangs armed with pistols carried out the attack and fled the scene of the incident, according eyewitnesses who spoke to Sunatimes on condition of anonymity.

Government soldiers who arrived at the scene of the incident conducted search operation around the area but no arrests were so far made regarding the incident.

No group has claimed responsibility of the attack but suspicion is likely to fall on Al-Shabaab militants who were ousted from the city few months ago.
