A unit of Al-Shabaab militants chopped off the right hand of a resident at Don-Burale village, near Qoryoley town in Somalia's Lower Shabelle region on Monday.
The incident took place at a square at Don-Burale village, about 124 km southwest of the Somalia capital Mogadishu and attended by villagers called to witness the event.
An Al-Shabaab judge presiding over the case named the man as Osman Manurey Mohamed who was accused and sentenced of breaking into a shop in the village, stealing Somali Shillings notes amounting to 6 million (equivalent to US$240).
On May 13, 2020, Al-Shabaab sentenced a man named Abukar Haji Omar, 50, to death for practising obscurantism.
"This man has been claiming to possess supernatural magical powers over the past five years," said an Al-Shabaab judge chairing the execution by a firing squad.
