NISA on site about missing head of department ahead of Somalia elections
NAIRONI, Kenya – the Somalia spy agency; the National Intelligence Security Agency [NISA] was indicted following the disappearance of one of his employees, who had worked as a manager for several years.
Ikran Tahil Farah, 24, was responsible for cybersecurity at NISA headquarters in Mogadishu before his mysterious disappearance on June 26, 2021, according to testimonies from his immediate family, who spoke to the media.
Several sources claim the young spy agency employee was picked up around 8:01 p.m. local time by a car from her residence near the heavily fortified NISA headquarters, but did not return home, more 20 days later. The family is now in distress.
In order for a vehicle to travel near the NISA headquarters, it must get permission from the security chiefs, or at least it must be subject to serious checks by those in charge. Usually there is a sheet for the registration of vehicles entering the area.
The headquarters of NISA is part of the protected areas in Somalia, part of the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, the presidential palace and the Halane base camp which hosts several diplomatic missions in the Horn of Africa country.
Qali Mohamud Guhad, the mother of the missing girl, now wants all CCTV footage from the said date to be reviewed so the family can have a clue about her daughter’s fate. She flew from Ankara, Turkey, to follow up on her missing daughter.
According to sources, Ikran worked closely with the former governor of Banadir Eng. Yarisow was assassinated by Al-Shabaab militants in 2019. Yarisow was one of the popular politicians in Somalia until his unfortunate demise.
The mother also took a hit at the NISA led by Fahad Yasin, wondering why the agency never made a commitment to locate her missing daughter despite a series of complaints filed by the immediate family.
Ikran is one of the young people who studied abroad and returned to war-torn Somalia. Her fate remains uncertain as she is reported missing in the shadow of NISA, a controversial spy agency in the Horn of Africa country.
For years, the NISA has been criticized throughout the reign of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo, who is a close ally of Fahad Yasin. The director of NISA has, among other things, been accused of using NISA agents to intimidate the opposition.
The Union of Presidential Candidates in Somalia has often called for Yasin’s resignation, accusing him of harshness. The spy agency has yet to respond directly or indirectly to the latest allegations of its employee’s disappearance.
Somalia is gearing up for elections starting this month, which will culminate in presidential elections to be held on October 10, 2021. Farmajo has often been criticized for plotting to rig polls using the controversial spy agency.
