Lawyer Danstan Omari has gone to court to push the government to find missing Wajir Deputy County Commissioner Hussein Mohammed, dead or alive.
“We have moved to court to seek an order compelling the production of Hussein, whether alive or dead,” Omari told journalists outside the Milimani Law Courts.
Hussein, who also served as the Huduma Centre Manager in Wajir, has been missing since July 8, 2025.
In the application filed on July 13, 2025, Omari described Hussein as a senior public officer whose absence has raised concerns.
He said Hussein held the position of Deputy County Commissioner, making him a key figure in the provincial administration.
Family members who accompanied Omari said their efforts to trace Hussein have been unsuccessful despite reporting the matter to relevant authorities.
“It’s been several days since he disappeared. There has been no adequate communication from authorities, and we are deeply worried,” said a family member.
His brother, Abdiwar Mohammed, called for a swift, independent, and transparent investigation.
He urged the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Inspector General of Police, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights to act urgently.
Omari also said they had requested the DCI to transfer the investigation file from Wajir to its headquarters for further handling.
The Attorney General, Ithe nspector General of Police, and the DPP have been named as respondents in the case.
