Missing High Court advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has been found alive in Sololo, Marsabit County, 11 days after he was allegedly abducted by armed men along Muchai Road, off Ngong Road in Nairobi.
According to the latest information, Abdi was found dumped in the Uran area of Sololo at around 5 a.m. on Thursday, November 12, 2026, bringing an end to days of uncertainty surrounding his whereabouts.
His discovery comes after his disappearance sparked widespread concern among his family, colleagues and members of the legal fraternity, with the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) leading calls for authorities to establish his whereabouts and ensure his safe return.
Abdi, an advocate of the High Court associated with Abshir & Njagi Advocates, reportedly disappeared on Sunday, November 1, after armed men allegedly intercepted his vehicle along Muchai Road in Nairobi.
According to details presented in court, the advocate was driving a white Toyota Premio when he was allegedly pursued and intercepted by occupants of two vehicles, including a black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX and a double-cabin pickup.
CCTV footage reportedly showed his vehicle being intercepted before it ended up in a drainage channel. Several men, some allegedly dressed in police-style uniforms and tactical clothing, were then seen approaching the vehicle.
The men reportedly overpowered Abdi, blindfolded him and forced him into another vehicle before driving away. His Toyota Premio was later recovered and taken to Kilimani Police Station.
Following his disappearance, his family filed a missing-person report and moved to the High Court seeking intervention and answers from security agencies.
On November 4, Justice Alexander Muteti issued orders directing the Inspector General of Police, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to account for Abdi's whereabouts and produce him before the court.
The case also attracted attention after his brother, Zachariah Abdi Abshir, told the court that the advocate had allegedly experienced intimidation and threats linked to his involvement in a criminal matter before the Makadara Law Courts.
The family claimed that Abdi had been a complainant and an important witness in a case identified as MCCR/E2910/2025 and had previously faced pressure to withdraw from the proceedings.
