Gunmen who said they intended to kill a Christian in Somalia for spreading his faith, shot him to death on October 20.

Two men armed with pistols shot Abdikhani Hassan seven times as he approached his home after closing his pharmacy. Before killing Hassan, one of the assailants told his neighbour: ‘We have information that Hassan is spreading wrong religion to our people, and we are looking for him’.

No robbery

‘I got so frightened as the two young men left’, said the neighbour, whose identity is withheld for security reasons.
