The Puntland Security Forces have successfully arrested Abdiqani Dayib Awnur Soolle.
The man, who was arrested on Friday, is believed to be a key suspect allegedly involved in the hijacking of the MV Abdalla earlier this year.
His capture marks the third arrest related to the incident, which saw the ship taken hostage in March 2024.
Soolle’s arrest highlights ongoing efforts to combat piracy in the region, which has been a significant threat to maritime security around the Horn of Africa.
Authorities are continuing their investigations to bring all those responsible to justice and ensure the safety of the region’s waters.
