According to reports, Abdi was found dumped in Sololo, although details surrounding the circumstances of his discovery and his current condition remained unclear.
Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama addressed the development, saying the information received was still being verified. The Society was awaiting official confirmation from Abdi’s family.
Kanjama maintained that the legal fraternity would continue demanding answers and accountability over the disappearance of Abdi and another colleague, Ayub Mohamud Maalim, whose whereabouts had also raised concern.
“We remain steadfast, we remain strong, we remain unrelenting until Advocate Abshir and Ayub are brought to court or we assure ourselves of their safety,” Kanjama said, according to reports.
Abdi was reported missing after an alleged abduction on November 1, 2026. His family said armed individuals intercepted his vehicle along Muchai Road and forcibly took him away.
His white Toyota Premio was subsequently recovered abandoned along the same road.
The disappearance prompted his family to file a habeas corpus application at the Milimani High Court, seeking orders compelling security agencies to produce him before the court, dead or alive.
In earlier proceedings, Justice Alexander Muteti directed senior security officials, including Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and DCI Director Mohamed Amin, to explain Abdi’s whereabouts.
Police and security agencies had denied holding the lawyer, while investigations into his disappearance were reportedly ongoing.
The LSK has maintained pressure for accountability, calling for those responsible for the alleged abduction to be identified and held accountable.
As of Thursday, confirmation from Abdi’s family and further details about his reported discovery were still awaited. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ACV3wFXcq/
