Somalia’s federal security agencies have intensified their operations to enhance security in Mogadishu, focusing on cracking down on drug trafficking and the use of mind-altering substances, which are often linked to criminal activities.
Authorities have previously issued stern warnings to individuals involved in the trade and use of illicit substances. Law enforcement reiterated that anyone caught in such activities will be prosecuted in court.
