Missing Nairobi lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has reportedly been found alive in Isiolo County, bringing fresh hope to his family and the legal fraternity after 11 days of uncertainty surrounding his disappearance.
Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama announced the development on Thursday, November 12, 2026, saying the organisation had received reports indicating that the missing advocate had been located in a thicket in Isiolo.
However, Kanjama cautioned that the information had not yet been independently verified, noting that lawyers were still working to establish the circumstances surrounding the reported discovery.
Speaking about the development, the LSK president said the organisation was treating the information carefully as efforts continued to confirm whether Abdi had indeed been found alive.
"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 stated.
He further explained that the family would issue an official confirmation once the necessary steps had been completed and the reports established.
The announcement came as a major development in the search for Abdi, whose disappearance had sparked widespread concern among lawyers, human rights advocates and members of the public.
Abdi had been missing for 11 days, with his whereabouts remaining unknown despite growing calls for authorities to establish what happened to him.
His disappearance attracted significant attention from the legal community, with the Law Society of Kenya taking an active role in raising concerns and seeking answers over his whereabouts.
The reported discovery in Isiolo has therefore raised hopes that the advocate could finally be reunited with his family after days of anxiety.
Nevertheless, questions remain about the circumstances under which he reportedly went missing, how he ended up in Isiolo and whether anyone was involved in his disappearance.
The legal fraternity and Kenyans are now awaiting an official statement from his family and further details from relevant authorities.
If confirmed, Abdi's discovery alive would mark a significant breakthrough in a case that has drawn national attention and renewed discussions about the safety of lawyers in Kenya.
