Zachariah said the call came on Thursday, November 12, raising questions about Abdi’s whereabouts as his family searches for answers.
The account emerged at the Milimani High Court, where the family is seeking orders compelling security agencies to produce the advocate and explain his disappearance.
Abdi was reported missing after he was allegedly seized by armed men along Muchai Road, off Ngong Road, in Nairobi, on November 1.
His family says he was travelling in a white Toyota Premio when two vehicles, reportedly a black Toyota Prado TX and a double-cabin vehicle, pursued him.
The car was later found abandoned in a ditch near the Association of Kenya Insurers offices, but Abdi could not be traced.
Zachariah has presented CCTV recordings and photographs in court as evidence of the events surrounding his brother’s disappearance.
He told the court that the recordings showed the vehicles involved in the pursuit and men allegedly catching up with Abdi before taking him away.
The family has raised concerns about October 2025, when Abdi was allegedly arrested and questioned over his involvement in a criminal case at the Makadara Law Courts.
Court documents indicate that the lawyer had complained of intimidation and asked investigative authorities to examine the alleged conduct of officers.
The Law Society of Kenya has expressed concern, saying the disappearance could be connected to Abdi’s professional responsibilities and his role in court proceedings.
The High Court ordered a full hearing after state agencies denied holding the lawyer, saying the evidence must be examined.
The court will consider the family’s account alongside responses from the agencies before deciding what further orders should be issued.
The reported call could provide a new lead, although it does not establish Abdi’s location or independently confirm the caller’s identity.
Relatives continue to demand answers and urge authorities to establish his whereabouts as the case draws attention from the legal fraternity.
