Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Charles Kanjama has announced that missing Nairobi lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi has reportedly been found dumped in Sololo, Marsabit County.

Abdi went missing after being reportedly abducted by armed individuals along Muchai Road, off Ngong Road, on November 1, 2026.

The LSK president said on Thursday that the Society will remain adamant until the lawyer is back home safe and sound.

He also intimated that they will not stop demanding the arrest of perpetrators behind the recent abductions.

"We remain unrelenting until Abshir and Ayub (colleague) are brought to court or we assure ourselves of their safety," he said.

"Until accountability is given to those contravening the law. It should not only include abductors but those providing them with resources and instructions."

He said that they are also awaiting the official confirmation from his family.

"We keep our fingers crossed and our hopes high," Kanjama added.

He raised concern over the use of state machinery to conduct illegal disappearances of Kenyan citizens, arguing that the matter is eroding civility.

"We are deeply troubled. We have heard about the Special Operations Group and the Operation Support Unit under the DCI. We are hearing terms that are contrary to constitutional design."
