The family of Isiolo County Huduma Centre officer who went missing in July now wants government to intervene and find their kin.
The family of Hussein Abdrahman said his whereabouts has left them with anxiety and distress.
While talking to journalists, the family intensified calls on government to fasttrack investigations and establish what might have happened to their son.
Abdrahama was reported missing on July 17, 2025, under mysterious circumstances.
His sister Katra Abdrahman Mohamed said her brother had reported to work on the fateful day.
“His whereabouts has taken an emotional toll on his wife, children, relatives and the community at large. We have not seen any efforts by the government to trace him. The silence is killing us slowly. We are just asking for the truth,” said Katra.
Amid growing anxiety and lack of official updates, the Ajuran Professionals Association, a regional lobby representing professionals from the Ajuran community spoke out strongly against what they described as ‘unacceptable silence’ from government authorities.
The association’s Vice Chairperson, Shamim Abdulahi Maalim, demanded urgent action and transparency from the state.
“We are extremely alarmed by the mysterious disappearance of Mr Abdrahman. As professionals from the Ajuran community, we cannot sit back while one of our own vanishes without trace and without a word from the government,” said Shamim.
The association further called on the President William Ruto, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and elected leaders from Isiolo and Wajir counties to urgently intervene in the matter.
“This is not just a family issue but a human rights issue and a matter of national concern,” Shamim emphasised.
Ahamed Osman, a family member also urged the government to act swiftly.
“If the government is holding him, his family deserves to know. If he has been abducted by non-state actors as has happened before to chiefs and civil servants in northern Kenya then the government must move swiftly to investigate and ensure his safe return,” said Osman.
While maintaining that the family is haunted by unanswered questions, Osman said, “We don’t know if he was targeted, or whether he’s in custody. If the government has any information, they owe it to the family to say something,” he said.
There is rising concern among local communities that enforced disappearances and unlawful detentions are becoming more frequent in northern Kenya, especially in border counties prone to security operations and counterterrorism activities.
