Assailants armed with handguns killed a Wabari district worker in Mogadishu and managed to escape from the scene.
The victim was killed outside one of the mosques in the district. No arrests have been made so far by the police.
Wabari district commissioner, Hawa Ken, told Goobjoog News that they are conducting searches to arrest culprits behind the murder.
No group has claimed responsibility for the murder although Al-Shabaab militants frequently target civil servants and local government workers in Mogadishu.
