Eyewitnesses say unidentified assailants have gunned down Female district official shot dead in Somalia’s war-torn Mogadishu on Monday afternoon.
Saynab Muheydin, who was working for Shibis district administration, was shot dead by pistil-wielding men at Mana-Bolyo market, near her home, relatives said.
The assassins fled right away after the targeted assassination.
Somali security forces afterwards arrived on the scene, conducting a search operation nearby in pursuit of killers, but they did not manage to arrest the culprits.
Such targeted assassinations against security and government officials carried out by unknown gunmen in Mogadishu have been on increase since the start of Ramadan.
