• According to the family, Mr. Ahmed was abducted by unknown assailants on the evening of Friday, September 13, 2024, around 8:00 PM, while traveling along Enterprise Road in Nairobi.

Faith Odhiambo, president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), has expressed concern over the abduction of Hon. Yussuf Hussein Ahmed, the Member of County Assembly for Wajir’s Dela Ward. The news of Mr. Ahmed’s disappearance emerged from alarmed family members who reported the incident.

According to the family, Mr. Ahmed was abducted by unknown assailants on the evening of Friday, September 13, 2024, around 8:00 PM, while traveling along Enterprise Road in Nairobi. A heavily armed group in two unmarked Land Cruiser Prados intercepted his taxi, forcibly removing him from the vehicle before driving him away to an unknown location. Since the abduction, his whereabouts have remained unknown, and his family, friends, and colleagues have been unable to contact him.

The assailants not only took Mr. Ahmed but also confiscated the taxi driver’s phone, brandishing firearms to intimidate him. The incident was reported to the Industrial Area Police Station, from which the family learned of the abduction.

They have since lodged a formal report with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) at Makadara Police Station, registered under OB 86/13/09/2024. However, the family continues to face an agonizing uncertainty, as no information regarding Mr. Ahmed’s whereabouts has been provided.

In light of recent events in the country, the family is increasingly apprehensive about potential foul play surrounding Mr. Ahmed’s disappearance.

Odhiambo has added the LSK’s voice to calls for urgent action, urging the Inspector General of Police and the DCI to treat the situation with the seriousness it deserves. “Human rights are imperative safeguards of a safe and stable society, and any threats to them must be counteracted by all means necessary,” she stated.

The LSK also calls upon the public to remain vigilant and supportive of one another during this troubling time. They encourage anyone with information regarding Mr. Ahmed’s possible whereabouts to come forward to aid in his safe return.
