The commander-in-chief of Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency, known as Nisa, Mr Hussein Osman Hussein has suspended two of his deputies on Monday. In a decree from his office, Nisa boss indicated that he sent home Mr Abdalla Abdalla Mohamed and Mr Abdikadir Mohamed Nor after considering the security challenges in the spy agency.
Mr Hussein has not revealed the reason behind the suspension of the two powerful officials but the decision comes after Al-Shabaab carried out a series of explosions in Mogadishu the recent few weeks. There were no replacements announced in the statement by Nisa commander.
