Mohamed Sufi, who was said to be one of the pirates who attacked the MV Abdalla, and who was among those who took the ransom money from that ship, was arrested by the Puntland police force.
The police who said they were following the information of Mohamed Sufi Rasas, said they arrested him in the city of Garawe where he has been hiding for the past few days.
The police said that he was one of the hijackers of the MV Room ship, and later transferred to the MV Abdalle ship.
Police said he was one of the bandits who took the ransom money from the ship.
In the middle of April this year, a ransom of five million dollars was taken from the ship MV Abdullaah, after the pirates seized it.
