The High Court will today issue directions in a case in which the family of missing Wajir MCA Yussuf Hussein is seeking his production in court.
Yussufs family has asked the courts to compel the IG and DCI to produce him in court.
Justice Alexander Muteti is expected to issue further directions in the case after directing the state to produce Yussuf if he is in their custody.
Through advocates Danstan Omari, Abdikadir Ahmed who sued on Yussuf's behalf said the latter has been missing from South B estate since the night of September 13, 2024.
Ahmed claims his cousin was forcefully removed from a taxi that he had ordered from the said estate at 8 PM on the said date.
"His whereabouts remain unknown and unaccounted for and there is reasonable fear that he was abducted by officers attached to the IG and DCI," he says
Ahmed explains that the two have refused to allow his family to visit him in custody and at the same time refused to present him before a court of law to answer to any charge.
Ahmed says nobody has accounted for the whereabouts of Yussuf despite there being two OBs entered in regard to his disappearance.
"The driver of the taxi has sworn an affidavit and stated that he reported the incident and obtained an OB as to what he saw on the said date that evening," says Ahmed.
Ahmed states that they met as a family at Makadara Police Station where they were told that Yussuf's phone was in their custody as the incident had been reported by the taxi driver who picked him up.
"Unless this court intervenes and compels the respondents to produce Yussuf before this Court, we will continue to live with anxiety and stress caused by the forced disappearance and abduction of our loved one," read their documents in part.
