Kenya: LSK Demands Accountability As Search for Missing Advocate Abshir Enters Second Week
[Capital FM] Nairobi -- The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has renewed pressure on security agencies to account for missing advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi, announcing fresh demonstrations on Tuesday as the High Court prepares to deliver its ruling in habeas corpus proceedings seeking his whereabouts.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has called for accountability and demonstrations as the search for missing advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi enters its second week. Abdi was reportedly abducted on November 2, 2026, while traveling along Muchai Road, and the High Court is due to rule on November 8 in a habeas corpus proceeding seeking his whereabouts.
LSK has urged the Inspector General of Police to respond to a memorandum presented by the Society and is organizing demonstrations to demand the safe return of the advocate and accountability for his disappearance. The Society has raised concerns that the disappearance may be connected to Abdi's involvement in a criminal case where he was a complainant and key witness.
