Merka we do not know yet. It is complicated but it boils down to the Police Commander being one of the closest friends to Abdiwali Gaas as they share the same sub clan and region both hailing from Mudug.
Couple of weeks ago the VP Abdihakin Amey suspended him because of his hehaviour ordering his shot deputy to continue his work.
When Abdiwali Gaas came back and the VP left the country Gaas reversed the decision and ordered the Police Commander to continue and removed his suspension because he felt that Amey was targeting his ‘men‘.
It was a internal struggle between Gaas and his VP. Gaas is very clannish and felt that his clan member was picked upon.
The Governor on the other hand is a hard working loyal individual who was previously the commander of the Presidential troops when his uncle was the President of Puntland.
There are numerous factors of which clan is a factor but there are other things as well such as the Police Commander being angry about his suspension and probably trying to assert himself as he feels entitled due to belonging to the same subclan as Gaas.
