Mogadishu (RBC) A district commissioner in Somalia capital, Mogadishu has narrowly escaped a roadside bomb explosion targeted his vehicle during anti-Al Shabab demonstration on Monday, RBC Radio reports.
Heliwaa district commissioner, Omar Abdulle Jacfan confirmed that a landmine hit his 4WD car shortly after he returned from a public gathering that denounced the extremists’ attack on Somali courts building in Mogadishu on Sunday which killed at least 32 people.
“I heard heavy explosion at the backside of my car after I left the demonstration scene at the district office, but luckily none of my team was hurt.” the district commissioner said.
“I am almost safe, even my car was not damaged.” he added.
“We will not stop eliminating the anti-peace elements.” the commissioner vowed.
According to the police, at least three persons were arrested in connection with the bomb explosion. No group has taken the responsibility of the bomb explosion despite Sunday’s deadly attack was taken by the extremists group of Al Shabab.
Angry demonstrators, mostly women and teenagers have gathered in Heliwaa district, north of Mogadishu early on Monday with tightened security to deplore Sunday’s deadly attack on the lawcourts complex in Mogadishu.
