Mudug Regional Police has arrested Barkhad Awil Hirsi who was one of four Al-Shabaab prisoners who recently escaped from a prison in Galkayo.
Barkhad was sentenced to death by shooting, and that sentence was yet to be carried out.
The police force said that he is a member of the Al-Shabaab network that has been captured in the city of Galkayo and has already killed many people.
The Puntland Police Command has placed a reward of $20,000 on the arrest of the escaped prisoners. The police did not say if there was a reward for the arrest of Barkhad Awil Hirsi.
The police are now looking for three governors who escaped, namely, Abdiqani Saleban Jama (Saylor), Abdullahi Faisal Hussein (Abujonge) and Abdirahman Awil Mohammed (Sigayste).
The escaped Al-Shabaab were imprisoned for three years. The people of the public have expressed doubt as to why they spent so much time in prisons under the sentence of death, and at the same time they went through the different stages of their trial.
