Al-shabab militias in Kismayo have arrested six Public Service Vehicle drivers who were accused of over speeding in the town. Al-shabab previously introduced new traffic law in the port city of Southern Somalia which is fully under their control.
Some of the arrested drivers are also accused of carrying excess language and passengers in their vehicles which is also contrary to the Shabab made traffic laws.
Al-shabab’s Kismayo traffic commandant Ibrahim Mohamed Ali said the six suspects will be punished for disobeying the new traffic laws introduced by his group. Ibrahim also accused the PSV drivers for being the main cause of the accidents that occur in the Juba regions.
Accidents involving Public Service Vehicles in the Juba regions have recently increased and lack of experience among the drivers is cited as the main cause although most of the roads are not in good condition.
