Nairobi lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi, who went missing under mysterious circumstances 11 days ago, has reportedly been found alive in Sololo, Marsabit County.
The development has brought relief to his family, colleagues and members of the legal fraternity who had spent days demanding answers over his whereabouts.
Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama confirmed the development, marking a major breakthrough in the search for the missing advocate.
Abdi's disappearance had sparked widespread concern across the country, with lawyers accusing security agencies of failing to provide satisfactory answers about his whereabouts.
The advocate reportedly went missing on November 1, 2026, after an alleged abduction along Muchai Road in the Kilimani area of Nairobi.
Reports indicated that armed individuals pursued him before bundling him into a waiting vehicle and driving away. His vehicle was subsequently recovered, raising further questions about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
His disappearance prompted the Law Society of Kenya to organise demonstrations and pursue legal action seeking to compel authorities to establish his whereabouts.
The matter also reached the Milimani High Court, where proceedings were initiated to compel relevant authorities to account for the missing lawyer and produce him before the court.
Kanjama had led fellow advocates in demanding accountability, insisting that Abdi's safety was a matter of concern for the entire legal profession.
The LSK had also threatened nationwide legal action, including suspending court activities, as pressure mounted for his safe return.
His reported discovery in Sololo, Marsabit County, is therefore a significant development after nearly two weeks of uncertainty.
Attention is now expected to turn to establishing what happened during the 11 days he was missing, how he ended up in Marsabit and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Further details regarding his condition, the people involved and arrangements for his reunion with his family are awaited.
