Reports say the gunmen shot dead the deceased, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdulle, the head of Israa village on the northern side of the city. The assailants immediately fled the area.

The identity and the motive of the gunmen are yet to be established.  No group has so far claimed responsibility of this brutal killing, but the local administration in the area pointed blame fingers at Al-Shabaab.

Abdulle is said to be the second area village elders to be killed since 2010.

Puntland police immediately arrived at the scene of the incident and launched investigation into the incident but no arrests were made so far.

Galkayo has in the past months seen several similar incidents, raising eyebrows among the locals, with local administrations in the south and north of city promising to contain the situation.

Just recently unknown assailants shot dead a traditional elder in the city under unknown circumstances.

Suldan Sa’id Osman, an elder from northern Abudwak, was shot dead by armed gangs as he was walking near Puntland’s area administration headquarters. The assailants immediately fled the area.

Doyow Gududow who is the chairman of the displaced families Buhodle town told Bar-kulan that they are facing harsh living conditions, a time tension between local clan militias and Somaliland troops is building up in the area.
