With the First Balkan War, the Dibra region was invaded by the Serbian army. This would be followed by the turmoils of World War I where several military and paramilitary fractions would raid the area. In 1914, Moglica would be arrested by the supporters of Essad Pasha Toptani, influential in the area and closely related to Serbia. They sent him to Elbasan, and in order to humiliate him threw a saddle on him and made him walk in the streets of Elbasan despite his age. He would stay imprisoned for 3 months, and could escape only after the turmoil created when the Serbian army marched toward Elbasan against the Pro-Ottoman rebels of Haxhi Qamili. He returned to his village in early 1915, but remained in the "wanted" list by the Serbian army, who burnt his home as well. His family was displaced further south in Çermenikë region. The Serbians arrested his only son Osman, a local teacher as well, and asked Moglica to surrender in exchange for his son's life. Moglica agreed and the exchange was made. He was offered the option to sign a "petition" demanding that the western part of Dibra regions including the localities of Kolgrek, Kaptinë, Vervjak, Qafë Buall, and Qafë-Murrë, till Lurë to be annexed to Serbia. After declining the offer, he was put to dig his own grave, shot, and buried alive while still in agony.
