Tuesday 28,Jan 2025 {HMC} The Jubbaland military court on Monday commenced proceedings against Mukhtar Abdi Adan (Hoobiye), a former officer in the Jubbaland Armed Forces accused of collaborating with the AS militant group.
During the hearing, the court reviewed the charges against Adan. The Attorney General of the Jubbaland Armed Forces, Colonel Ismail Abdi Ali, alleged that the accused began working with AS in 2021, providing sensitive information about Jubbaland’s military operations to the group.
The court’s chairman, Colonel Abdullahi Mahmud Ibrahim, questioned Adan about the allegations, but the defendant denied the charges.
The court session was adjourned, with Chairman Ibrahim announcing that further hearings would be scheduled to continue examining the case against Mukhtar Abdi Adan.
The case underscores ongoing efforts by Jubbaland authorities to hold accountable those accused of aiding Al-Shabaab, which continues to pose significant security challenges in the region, the court said.
