The suspect, who was arrested by police forces operating in Dayniile District, has been identified as Abdullahi Ahmed Geedi.

He is accused of killing Abdirisaq Abukar Mohamed. The victim’s body has not yet been buried and remains at the mortuary.

In a written statement, the Banadir Regional Police Command said the suspect will be swiftly brought before justice.

“The Somali Police Force, Dayniile District Police Station, has arrested suspect Sgt. Abdullahi Ahmed Geedi, who is accused of killing the late Abdirisaq Abukar Mohamed, a bajaj driver, in Dayniile District.

The suspect is currently in police custody and will be referred to the competent court,” the statement said.

The police said the suspect is accused of killing a young man who was reportedly preparing to travel to the United States with his wife, after they were among the thousands of people selected through the U.S. Diversity Visa (Lottery) Program, which offers opportunities each year to people from around the world.

The murders took place in an area near Qaayid, close to the town of Adaado in the Galgaduud region.

The court announced today that it had overturned a previous prison sentence issued by the lower court against the three defendants. Two of the accused — Cabdi Cismaan Cabdullaahi and Galad Axmed Xuseen — were instead sentenced to death by execution.

The two men were accused of shooting and killing Sahro Xersi Cartan and her three daughters, Nuura Axmed Maxamuud, Xaawo Axmed Maxamuud, and Faa’sa Axmed Maxamuud on the night of October 9, 2025, while they were at their home in the village of Xiindheere.

Sahro Xersi Cartan was killed alongside her three daughters: Nuura Axmed Maxamuud, Xaawo Axmed Maxamuud, and Faa’sa Axmed Maxamuud.

The group that carried out the killings reportedly did so as part of a clan revenge attack, after failing to locate Sahro’s husband, who was away from the village at the time.

The third defendant, Ayuub Maxamed Cabdi, was sentenced to five years in prison.

The court also ordered the Galmudug administration to confiscate two AK-47 rifles used by the convicted men in the attack.

Clan-related killings remain a major problem in central Somalia, and some regions continue to experience clan conflicts rooted in cycles of revenge.
