A 25-year-old Kenyan was executed by Somali militant group Al-Shabaab for alleged spying.
Omar Adar Omar was in a group of four people who were killed by a firing squad in front of residents of Bu'ale Town on Monday.
The other victims of the execution were identified as Abdirisack Hashi Abas,Mustaf Moalom Hassan and Mohamed Aba Mayow.
Reports indicate that the terrorist group accused the four of spying for the Africa Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
According to the Nation, the militants rounded up residents of Bu’ale Town, including women and children to witness the killings.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) is part of the mission that is fighting the terror group in Somalia and has tried to restore order in the war-torn areas.
This is not the first time the militant group has executed a Kenyan citizen in front of the public.
In April this year,26-year-old Ahmed Yusuf Hassan and Ahmed Nur Abdi Osoble, 20, were executed by Al Shabaab's firing squad in Buq Aqable in Hiraan region as hundreds of locals watched.
The two had been accused of collaborating with the Somali government and allied forces operatives.
Other Kenyan Al Shabaab fighters like Nairobi's Majengo estate-born Asum, former Moi University student Jared Omambia and Mombasa-born Faraj Abdulmajid, alongside four other foreign fighters, were publicly executed by Al Shabaab in Lower Jubba last year on accusations of spying for the KDF and Somalia National Army.
