The Governor of Bari region of Puntland State of Federal Somalia, Yussuf Mohamed Wa'ais ‘Dhedo', vowed, Saturday to bring lawlessness in the Armo district to an end.
"Of all the districts in the region, Armo district appears to have abandoned governance and lawfulness these days," he said.
"Of late there had been a series of vehicle hijacks belonging to civilians in the Armo area," the Governor revealed.
"I am not going to tell you on media what measures we will take. Let it suffice that we will seriously deal with it and bring it back to line," he added.
The Governor was speaking to the media at a media conference held at his office to discuss juvenile delinquencies that they said was on the increase in the ancient coastal port of Bossasso which included armed robberies, muggings and looting which was largely carried out by young people the majority of whom were still living with their parents.
Discussion also centered on a series of car and lorry hijacks that had been of recent effected in the Armo area, 79 kilometers west of the port city.
Many have accused Armo district officers and security officials of complicity in a pronounced lawlessness that may completely cut off the port from the rest of Somalia and Somaliland whose travelers and motorists use the highway which goes through the town.
