The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has announced a nationwide lawyers’ strike and intensified protests demanding the immediate production of missing advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi, who has been missing for ten days following his reported abduction.
In a statement, LSK said its members appeared before court on Tuesday in connection with Habeas Corpus proceedings filed over Abdi’s disappearance under case number HCCRMISCAPPL/E268/2026.
Abdi was reportedly abducted on November 1, 2026, along Muchai Road, off Ngong Road in Nairobi. The society said he had not been presented before any court or accounted for since his disappearance.
LSK members also staged a peaceful march from Milimani Law Courts to Jogoo House, the Office of the Inspector-General of Police, demanding answers and calling for the advocate to be found alive and presented before a court of law.
The society said the legal fraternity had resolved to down tools and seek adjournments in courts across the country in protest against continued cases of enforced disappearances.
LSK maintained that lawyers could not continue normal court operations while their colleague remained missing, warning that the incident threatened constitutional freedoms and the administration of justice.
The society vowed to pursue all lawful avenues until Abdi is found and produced.
