Missing Nairobi lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has reportedly been found alive in Isiolo County, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama said on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
"We have received reports that Lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has been found alive in a thicket in Isiolo. That news is being verified right now as we speak," Kanjama said.
The reports had not been verified by lawyers at the time of publishing, and Kanjama said the family would confirm once the necessary steps had been taken.
Abdi, who practises at Abshir & Njagi Advocates, was reportedly abducted by armed men on Muchai Road, off Ngong Road, in Nairobi in early November.
CCTV footage reportedly shows men forcing him into a vehicle, and his car was later found abandoned on the same road.
LSK said his disappearance may be linked to a criminal case at the Makadara Law Courts in which he is reportedly a complainant and key witness.
The High Court has ordered police and other State agencies to produce him, dead or alive.
A Nairobi court also summoned officials from three security agencies: the NIS, anti-terror police and the army.
Police alleged in court that Abdi could be part of an extortion network, while his family accused officers of trying to portray him as a criminal.
The court also heard that three State prosecutors had found insufficient evidence to charge him.
LSK held protest marches, with Kanjama declaring that danger to one advocate is danger to all.
Two men allegedly with Abdi when he went missing were also reported missing, Capital FM reported on November 6.
The incident was reported at Kilimani Police Station under OB No. 55/1/11/2026.
Until his condition and the circumstances are confirmed, key questions remain: who held him, where, and why.
LSK has demanded that anyone found culpable be held personally accountable, regardless of their position or office.
This is a developing story, and this report will be updated as the LSK and Abdi's family confirm his status and condition.
