\"liban\"<\/a>Last week, Liban Abikar Yusuf (Yuyu), the commander of the Security Services of Afgoye, Lower Shabelle, was cold bloodedly gunned down by a member of the Somali army. It is not only a waste of rare talent but also a painful loss to his family and the people Afgoye which he stood up and paid his life to protect them.<\/p>\n

He was a young man in his twenties who, after seeing how bad his hometown security was, took an enormous risk to organize youth to fight lawlessness. He knew it was huge challenge but faced it with courage and performed to the best of his ability with bravery.<\/p>\n

While on duty sometime last year, one member of his youth group guarding a post in the town killed one of the marauding gangs who got used to do all sorts of criminal activities with impunity. Liban Abikar Yusuf was imprisoned for that incident and his family was forced to pay diyo (<\/em>blood money) to compensate the family who lost the criminal.<\/p>\n

Sometime after he was released the government used his talents and abilities of dealing with criminals by recruiting him to be the commander of the security services for his town.<\/p>\n

Less than a year in that position, he made sure that criminals do not get a place to hide. Day and night he worked very hard going after the bad guys.<\/p>\n

On June 19, 2015, beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan, Liban Abikar Yusuf, was called while in town to go and investigate a faux<\/em> security incident in Mareereey village near Afgoye. On his way back from that incident he was shot at military check point not far from there by the SOMALI ARMY.<\/p>\n

In a country where generally young people are on the wrong side of the law, Liban Abikar chose to do the right thing and for that he paid the ultimate price.<\/p>\n

Liban Abikar\u2019s coffin was not draped with the Somali flag, his family didn\u2019t receive condolences from our leaders, his bravery and sense of duty was not duly appreciated, but he will remain to be the unsung hero of his town\u2019s people. May Allah shower him with his blessings and grant him Janatul Fardowsa. Amin!<\/em><\/p>\n
