A statement posted on the Police Force’s Facebook page said that efforts by the force have finally succeeded in arresting the suspect.
“The Somaliland Police Force conducted an operation and arrested the suspect Yaxye Mohamed Abees, who killed the late Guuleed Mohamed Yusuf in the Mohamed Mooge neighborhood of Hargeisa this evening,” the police statement said.
