Rohingya leader Mohibullah was shot dead

Top Rohingya leader Mohibullah has been shot dead by terrorists. On Wednesday night, a group of armed terrorists randomly shot him at the Lumbasia camp in Ukhia and fled. He was later rescued and taken to a camp hospital, where the on-duty doctor declared him dead.

The matter has been confirmed by Naimul Haque, Superintendent of Police of APBN No. 14, who is in charge of the Rohingya camp.

Mohib Ullah was talking with other refugee leaders outside his office after attending evening prayers at around 8:00 pm when at least four assailants came to the spot and shot him dead.

“Four to five unidentified assailants shot him from close range. He was declared dead at a MSF hospital in the camp,” he said.

He said police and the Armed Police Battalion, which is tasked with ensuring security for the country’s 34 Rohingya camps, have stepped up security, deploying hundreds more armed officers. No one has been arrested yet.

“We are conducting raids in the area,” he said, adding Ullah had not alerted police of any threats from any group.

Mohammad Nowkhim, a spokesman of Ullah’s Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARPSH), said Ullah was talking to other Rohingya leaders outside the ARPSH office at Kutupalong, the world’s largest refugee settlement, when an unidentified assailant shot him at least three time.

“He was in a pool of blood. He was brought dead to the nearby MSF hospital,” Nowkhim said from a hideout, adding that many Rohingya leaders have gone into hiding after Ullah’s killing.

No one has claimed responsibility, but a Rohingya leader told that Ullah was killed by the extremist group Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, which was behind several attacks on Myanmar security posts in recent years

“It is a work of ARSA,” he said.
