The deputy minister for information Hon. Abdiwahid Abdikadir Abdirahman delivered the Government’s plans in the presence of family & friends of the late musician and in the company of communal elders’ religious leaders and regional administrators stressing that the deceased musician hailed from Berbera and would be buried as his wishes.

“Tough the late Tubeh was absent from the country for quite a long period, he had however maintained contact with his relatives & family in Berbera as is evidenced in his will and as a Government we shall offer a supporting hand to the bereaved family in fulfilling the wishes of the popular music artist of the period before the aftermath of the failed union with the south”.
