On November 3, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) expressed grave concerns over the disappearance of Nairobi lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi, alleging a possible connection to his role as a key witness in a criminal case. Abdi, affiliated with Abshir & Njagi Advocates, was reportedly abducted on the morning of November 2, 2026, near Muchai Road off Ngong Road.
Two vehicles, a Toyota Prado TX and a double-cab vehicle, pursued him, with armed occupants allegedly dressed in police uniforms and bulletproof vests. His vehicle was later found along the same route, but Abdi's whereabouts remain unknown. LSK President Charles Kanjama stated that the lawyer's abduction and disappearance were an affront to justice, the legal profession, and the rule of law.
The Society called for urgent investigations led by the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). They urged for the immediate production of Abdi if he is being held and demanded full compliance with any court orders. The Society emphasized that such threats and abductions targeting attorneys undermine the administration of justice and free participation in judicial proceedings.
