The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has announced that missing Nairobi-based lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has reportedly been found alive in Sololo, Marsabit County, 11 days after his disappearance, although the circumstances surrounding his discovery were still being verified.
Abdi reportedly disappeared on November 1, 2026, after armed individuals allegedly intercepted him along Muchai Road, off Ngong Road, in Nairobi.
His disappearance triggered protests and legal action by lawyers, who demanded that security agencies establish his whereabouts and account for the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The Daily Nation reported on November 12 that Abdi's brother, Zakaria Abshir, presented CCTV footage and photographs before the High Court, which he said showed armed men bundling the lawyer into a vehicle.
The footage and photographs were presented as evidence in ongoing proceedings concerning the disappearance.

The High Court had previously directed senior security officials, including Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Directorate of Criminal Investigations Director Mohammed Amin, to explain the lawyer's whereabouts.
According to court reporting by the Nation, the judge said the evidence presented warranted explanations from the security agencies.

Kanjama maintained that the society would continue pursuing accountability and answers over Abdi's disappearance.
He also raised concern over another missing individual, identified as Ayub Mohamud Maalim, saying the LSK's efforts would continue until both individuals were accounted for.
The reported discovery of Abdi in Marsabit marks a potentially significant development in a case that has attracted national attention and renewed debate about alleged abductions and the safety of legal practitioners in Kenya.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CdE99aDYr/
