Wajir MCA Yussuf Ahmed reunited with family after missing for 6 months

Wajir Woman Rep Fatuma Jehow confirmed that relatives and loved ones welcomed the Dela Ward MCA on Saturday evening at their home in Eastleigh, Nairobi.

"This is a huge wave of relief, a tidal wave of joy. I can almost feel the collective sigh of relief from every Wajirian, especially our beloved people of Eldas, who have carried this burden with us," she wrote on Facebook.

"My heart swells with gratitude, with a joy so profound it brings tears to my eyes. May Allah bless him, protect him, and grant him peace. Alhamdulillah."

MCA Ahmed is said to have been abducted on September 13, 2024, along Enterprise Road in Nairobi's Industrial Area.

A month after his disappearance, a body was retrieved in Lake Yahud which was believed to be the missing MCA.

Family members and locals thronged the morgue to identify the body that was badly tortured and decomposed but two independent DNA tests later determined that the body was not Ahmed's.

The development resulted in the 47 County Assemblies threatening adjournment of House sittings if their colleague was not found.

The MCAs claimed he was taken in by the State for unknown reasons. Just four days prior to his disappearance, he had complied with summons from security agencies in Wajir.
