Chief of the Supreme Military Court
On 18 May 2014, Turyare was appointed the new Chief of the Supreme Military Court of Somalia by presidential decree. He succeeded the interim Chief Liban Ali Yarrow.

Commander of the National Intelligence and Security Agency
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). He replaced Abdullahi Mohamed Ali, who had been sacked earlier in the month. According to the Council of Ministers, the NISA position was also concurrently renamed from "Director" to "Commander".

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. Turyare also pledged that the informers' identities would be kept private. This is reportedly the first time that a Somalia security official is offering such large dead-or-alive bounties on an Al-Shabaab leader.
