Hirshabelle Leaders Appeal to Puntland State

Hirshabelle Leaders spoke for the first time on the truck caught in Bassaso town loaded with explosives.

The State Minister in the Interior Ministry of Hirshabelle State Abdirashid Warsame and the Governor of Hiran region Ali Jeyte Osman said they expect the Puntland Administration to exercise fairness.

The two officials claim that the suspects were duped on the cargo as vegetables.

Governor of Hiran region Ali Jeyte Osman said after conducting an investigation found the operators of the truck were unaware of the explosives.

“We inform the Puntland region that the driver and others on the vehicle caught with explosives are innocent according to our own investigation. They were conspired against believing the load to be vegetables” said Governor Jeyte.

Similarly the State Minister in the Interior Ministry of Hirshabelle State Abdirashid Warsame on his side said Alshabab does not only inflict the public but also truck operators.

He appealed for the suspects to be released saying as Hirshabelle State, they don’t feel consent for the Puntland residents to be attacked.
