The family of missing assistant County Commissioner Hussein Abdirahman Mohamed has taken legal action.
Hussein went missing on Tuesday, July 8, and now his family is filing a petition seeking to compel the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, to produce the missing county official.
The missing person in question was last seen attending an official function and went missing hours later.
“This is a man who dedicated his life to public service. He had no known enemies, no ongoing disputes. One moment he was seated with government officials, and the next, he was gone”, part of the petition read.
The petition cited multiple violations of constitutional rights, including section 389 of the Criminal Procedure Code, as it questioned the government’s responsibility in upholding citizens’ rights.
The petition further questioned the state’s silence, five days after a missing person’s report was filed at Sojir Police Station.
Now the family is seeking to have the High Court direct IG Kanja, either personally or jointly with the Attorney General and the Director of Public Prosecutions immediately present the missing persons before the court.
