Family of missing Wajir Huduma Centre boss moves to court over disappearance

Hussein, who also heads the Huduma Centre in Wajir, was last seen on July 8, 2025. Since then, there has been no trace of his whereabouts within the country, according to his family.
The family of Hussein Abdirahman Mohamed, the Assistant County Commissioner for Wajir, has filed a legal suit seeking his immediate production in court following his mysterious disappearance earlier this month.
Hussein, who also heads the Huduma Centre in Wajir, was last seen on July 8, 2025. Since then, there has been no trace of his whereabouts within the country, according to his family.
In a certificate of urgency filed at the Milimani Criminal Division, the family is demanding that Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, the Attorney General, and the Director of Public Prosecutions be compelled to produce Hussein either alive or dead before the court.
“The Honorable Court should direct the second respondent (the IG), either individually or in collaboration with the other respondents (AG and ODPP), to produce Hussein unconditionally before this court no later than July 14, 2025, to ensure compliance with the rule of law,” reads part of the application.
The application further argues that the court has the jurisdiction to compel the respondents to present Hussein in court or reveal his body if he is deceased.
It also asserts that, should Hussein be suspected of any offence, he must be processed through lawful procedures and not held incommunicado.
The family notes that the last public sighting of Hussein was during a visit by the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service to Wajir County, where he was seen accompanying the CS. His disappearance occurred shortly after that event.
Concerned by the sudden silence, his relatives reported the matter at Sojir Police Station on July 10, 2025.
Despite filing an official complaint, they claim no progress has been made in tracing him.
“The Applicant’s family reported the matter at Sojir Police Station, but their efforts have so far been in vain,” the application states, referencing an official Occurrence Book (OB) number attached to the documents submitted in court.
The family is now turning to the courts in a desperate attempt to obtain answers about the disappearance of their loved one and to compel state agencies to take responsibility for clarifying his fate.
