He previously served as the Director of the National Intelligence and Security Agency of Somalia, and as the Chief of the Supreme Military Court.
[3] Turyare's term as Military Court Chief ended on 22 September 2014, when the Federal Cabinet appointed him as the new head of the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA).
[4][5] In September 2014, the Turyare offered a $2 million reward to any individual who provides information leading to the arrest of the new Al-Shabaab leader, Ahmed Omar Abu Ubeyda.
According to the NISA Commander, a separate $1 million would be rewarded to any person who supplies information that could result in the killing of Ubeyda.
This is reportedly the first time that a Somalia security official is offering such large dead-or-alive bounties on an Al-Shabaab leader.
