Somalia: Government soldiers shot dead son of an eminent comedian

Somali government soldiers have on the injury hours of Friday shot dead Ahmed Amir Roble the son of a famous Somali comedian Awkuku, in a place not far from the Somali presidential palace.

“I was witnessing when three Somali government soldiers haphazardly opened fire at the son of a very well-known Somali comedian Awkuku, they ordered him to stop and he told them that why should I stop you know me as the biological son of Awkuku, and I do live here, and the men dressed in the Somali military uniform ordered him to stop for the second time and the son of the comedian continued his walking ignoring their order and three of the soldiers simultaneously

opened fire at the son and he has died on the spot” said Abdifatah Mohammed an eyewitness who was at the scene where the son of Awkuku was killed speaking to Somaliweyn Website.
The genuine reason as to why the son of late Awkuku was shot dead is not apparent, though some independent sources say that he was a member of Al-Shabab an armed Islamist group which operates in Somalia.

According to the neighbours of Ahmed he was a very generous and introvert person who always liked to help his neighbours.

The late senior Awkuku has died in the Somali capital Mogadishu in the mid of 2009 after a prolong illness.
