A Jubbaland regional Member of Parliament (MP) was assassinated by extremists in Kismayo on January 1, 2021.
Reports from the region indicate that Khalif Hashim Moge lost his life after his car exploded in the Jubbaland capital on Friday.
Security agents believe that an explosive device was planted in Moge’s car before he boarded it and embarked on his journey.
Later, Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack after releasing a statement through its media-friendly sources.
