A Somali legislator told Shabelle that the security forces in Mogadishu are incompetent in carrying out precautionary security measures before an explosion or the death of politicians and other high-ranking officials in the capital city.

The legislator named Abdullahi Ahmed Onko accused the National Intelligence & Security Agency of failing to secure the safety of Mogadishu and that they are unable to carry out their respective roles.

“The National Intelligence & Security Agency is required to present credible information regarding the security condition in areas where legislators, community reside. NISA don’t realize that the circumstances of security conditions lay before them.” Said Parliamentarian Onko

A day after legislator Mohamed Isak Rino was killed in a car bomb, his colleague Abdiaziz Isak Mursal was shot dead by suspected Al-Shabaab insurgents. The accusation by Parliamentarian Abdullahi Ahmed Onko comes at a time when Members of Parliament fear for their safety amidst the deteriorating security situation in Mogadishu.
