The disappearance of Nairobi lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has taken a new turn after his brother presented fresh details before the High Court in Milimani, Nairobi, describing previous encounters involving people he believes were security officers.
During his testimony, Zakaria identified individuals he claimed were National Intelligence Service (NIS) officers who had been involved in an earlier incident involving his brother in October 2025. He also presented photographs and video footage that he said captured parts of the incident.
According to his testimony, two men had approached their family home pretending to be estate management officials before seeking an opportunity to meet Abshir. However, the family later discovered that the individuals were allegedly connected to the intelligence service.
Zakaria told the court that the men subsequently grabbed his brother, handcuffed him and entered their sitting room, where they allegedly took away his laptop.
He further explained that their younger sister attempted to record the incident using her mobile phone but became frightened after the men allegedly issued threatening remarks. Despite the intimidation, she managed to capture two video clips, which the family retained as potential evidence.
His white Toyota Premio was later recovered abandoned along the same road, but the lawyer has not been traced.
The family believes his disappearance could be connected to an ongoing criminal case at the Makadara Law Courts, where he was reportedly a key witness. They have previously raised concerns about alleged threats intended to force him to withdraw from the proceedings.
The Law Society of Kenya has also expressed concern over the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and called for answers from the relevant authorities.
