Forces from the semi-autonomous region of Puntland have shutdown late 
on Sunday an independent radio in Galkayo town, the head quarters of 
Mudug region in central Somalia, journalist told Somaliweyn.

The journalist in Galkayo also confirmed, the police took into jail the director 
of Radio Galkayo, without reasons.

Puntland security officers accused this radio of airing programs 
exaggerating the candidates of the approaching Puntland presidential 
elections and having special interviews with candidates.

Hasan Muhammad Jama, the director is still in the custody for his second 
day, with out court, said Ali Nur, a freelance journalist in Galkayo. Ali added 
yet the radio is off air.

The order of the closure of radio Galkayo and the arrest of its director was 
reportedly paid by the Puntland president Mahmud Muse, as he is 
campaigning in that town for the presidential race, which is due to be hold in 
the next year.

The Puntland regional administration has been accused of pressurizing and 
violating media freedom in the region.
