Missing lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has been found alive in Sololo, Marsabit County, 11 days after he disappeared in Nairobi.
The High Court was on Thursday, November 12, informed that Abdi had been found dumped in the remote area, bringing a new twist to the case that had raised concerns over his safety.
The circumstances surrounding his discovery and the people behind his disappearance were not immediately clear.
Abdi went missing on November 1, 2026, after he was allegedly pursued by armed men along Muchai Road in Nairobi.
His disappearance prompted his family to move to court, seeking orders compelling security agencies to produce him dead or alive and explain his whereabouts.
During an earlier hearing, his brother, Zakaria Abshir, presented CCTV footage and photographs showing what the family claimed was the lawyer being pursued by armed men.
The family also raised concerns after Abdi’s white Toyota Premio was found abandoned.
On November 10, Justice Alexander Muteti directed senior security officials to respond to the case and explain the circumstances surrounding the lawyer’s disappearance.
The Law Society of Kenya had also called for investigations into the incident, raising concerns over the safety of legal practitioners.
The latest development is expected to shift the focus of the case to how Abdi ended up in Sololo, who was responsible for his disappearance and whether those involved will be brought to justice.
