A Nairobi high court has ordered to produce in court the Wajir Assistant County Commissioner, Hussein Abdirahaman Mohammed.
In a press statement their lawyer Danstan Omari says there is a posibility that Mohammed is in the hands of police since his family has searched for him everywhere and they could not find him.
Milimani High Court Judge Chacha Mwita issued the orders on July 24,2025 following submissions by lawyers Shadrack Wambui, Danstan Omari and Hussein Abdullahi that Hussein is one of the senior government employees who cannot disappear without a trace.
“This is the first case where a senior government employee who sits in the county security committee, issues passports and national identity cards as he also doubles as the Wajir Huduma Centre Manager to vanish without a trace,” Omari told Judge Mwita.
Mwita directed the IG and the DCI to trace and locate Hussein, then produce him in court on or before September 16, 2025.
Wambui said Hussein disappeared a day after receiving the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Public Service, Geoffrey Ruku, on July 7, 2025.
The judge heard Hussein was scheduled to proceed to his annual leave after hosting Ruku.
“On the material day, Mohammed took his children to school, then drove to his workplace and has never returned to his home to date from July 8, 2025,” Wambui informed the judge.
“Both the Attorney General and the IG owe a duty to this court and everyone to avail Hussein before this court, dead or alive,” Wambui submitted.
He urged the judge to compel the top security apparatus to avail Hussein over to the court.
“The AG and IG need to restore public confidence that they are safe by tracing and producing Hussein in court,” Omari stated.
He added that it is the constitutional duty of the police to ensure everybody is safe and “it is heart rending for police to claim they do not know where one is.”
