The ex-NISA chief is the prime suspect in the murder case of senior intelligence officer Ikran Tahlil that sparked the worst political crisis in Somalia. 

The outgoing president proofed his intentions to save Fahad Yasin and his close circles from prosecution over the murder of the senior NISA female agent.

Heavily armed rival forces were spotted around the NISA HQs on Wednesday morning amid reports of attempt by new security minister to arrive there.

The PM warned Farmajo against any attempt to derail the ongoing investigation by the military court which is expected to release its findings on Thursday, September 15, according to Keydmedia sources.

Speaking to the media in Mogadishu, the bereaved mother said the family has confidence only in the committee appointed by PM Mohamed Hussein Roble to probe the case.

The country's PM has already appointed an inquiry body to look into the reported murder of Ikran Tahlil went missing last June in Mogadishu.

The former Al-Shabaab deputy leader and spokesman has been on house arrest in Mogadishu for three years and his life came in danger from Fahad Yasin.

The case of the NISA officer has attracted public attention and plunged the country into a fresh political crisis pitting the PM against the outgoing president. 

The senior intelligence female officer has been abducted on June 26 of this year from her house near the heavily fortified NISA's HQs in Mogadishu.

Yasin Farey has no educational background or military skills and his colleagues in NISA call him "the unwise man". He was appointed by the outgoing President Farmajo as the Director of the most powerful security agency in Somalia? This is his story.

The murder of the NISA's cybersecurity expert has sparked political deadlock in Somalia and led to a power struggle between Farmajo and Roble.

Sources said that the director appointed by Farmajo Yasin Farey is inside the NISA compound under the protection of Eritrean-trained forces.
