MOGADISHU <\/b>–<\/strong> <\/span>A military court in Mogadishu has condemned a military man to death for raping a four-year-old girl in the city\u2019s Wadajir district.<\/p>\n

The military court of First Instance sentenced constable Mohamed Hussein Elmi to death following charges by the Ofice of the Prosecutor. According to the prosecutor, Elmi raped the four-year-old girl on May 14 this year in Wadajir district.<\/p>\n

The trial began early last month and was concluded on September 24 ahead of the sentencing today.<\/p>\n

Military deputy attorney general Mumim Hussein Abdullahi appealed to the court to deliver its verdict in a manner that will send a message to would-be rapists.<\/p>\n

The sentencing of the soldier comes in the wake of rising cases of rape which have sparked anger and uproar in the city and beyond.<\/p>\n

A five-year-old baby was raped on September 20 in Mogadishu barely a week after two other cases involving a 19-year-old teenager and a 10-year-old boy in the city.<\/p>\n

The developments have put on the spot the Federal Parliament to pass the Sexual Offenses Act which has been pending in the Lower House since May 2018.<\/p>\n
