Truck and other public service vehicle drivers plying the route between Afgoye and Marka town are complaining of robbery meted against them and other passengers by people dressed in government military uniform.

One of the drivers who sought anonymity told Sunatimes that he and his passengers were last night robbed of valuables by gunmen in military uniform.

He said in between Shalanbod and Number 50 area alone vehicles playing the rout encounter at least four roadblocks mounted by gunmen dressed in military fatigue who rob passengers of their valuables.

Although government forces in the region have on several occasions conducted operations aimed at stamping out gunmen manning illegal roadblocks meant to rob passenger vehicles plying the route, robbery along the route is still reported.
