NISA Forces Close Down Hormuud and Salaam Bank Offices in Bakaara Market Muqadishu.
The National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) forces have shut down the main office of Hormuud Telecom located in the Bakaara Market. Reports indicate that NISA troops attacked the facility with three military-type vehicles, completely closing off this significant office.
In addition, the NISA forces have also closed down the main branch of Salaam Bank, situated in the Bakaara Market. This action by the NISA forces follows a statement issued by the management of Hormuud Telecom, which accused the agency of certain misdeeds. NISA has strongly denied these accusations, stating they have no involvement in the matters alleged.
This move by NISA has created a strong reaction, with the community and traders in the Bakaara Market expressing significant concern over this new development and its potential impact on the operations of the market, which is the largest in Somalia.
