National Intelligence Agency Hunts Down Khawaarij Operative in Somalia

Mogadishu,  (SONNA) – The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) has launched a manhunt for Abdullahi Hassan Abdi, a suspected operative of the Khawaarij group, who is accused of extorting money from residents in the Banadir region. NISA has released his photo and details to the public, urging citizens to assist in his capture.

Abdullahi Hassan Abdi is believed to be a key figure in the Khawaarij network. According to NISA, Abdi has been actively involved in collecting illegal funds through coercion and intimidation, posing a significant threat to the security and stability of the region.

In a statement issued to the press, NISA emphasized the importance of public cooperation in apprehending the suspect. “Abdullahi Hassan Abdi is a dangerous individual whose actions undermine the peace and security of our nation. We call on all citizens to provide any information that could lead to his arrest,” the agency said.

The Khawaarij, often associated with extremist ideologies, have been a persistent challenge for Somali authorities. Their activities, including extortion, attacks on civilians, and clashes with security forces, have exacerbated the country’s security woes.

NISA’s public appeal highlights the ongoing efforts by Somali security forces to dismantle extremist networks and restore stability. The agency has assured the public that all information provided will be handled with utmost confidentiality.

Authorities have urged anyone with information on Abdullahi Hassan Abdi’s whereabouts to contact NISA immediately. The manhunt comes as part of a broader campaign to combat terrorism and organized crime in Somalia, with security forces intensifying operations across the country.
