The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Wajir Huduma Centre Manager and Deputy County Commissioner Hussein Abdirahman Mohamed has deepened, with his brother Abdiwahab Mohamed filing a further affidavit alleging threats and intimidation by security agencies.
In the sworn document, Abdiwahab claims that on July 15, 2025, he received a chilling phone call from an anonymous individual warning him to withdraw the habeas corpus application filed to compel the state to produce Hussein in court. The caller allegedly told him to stop “disturbing the government” and hinted at dire consequences if he continued pursuing the matter in court.
He further revealed that he is now living in fear and has been forced to go into hiding due to increased surveillance and harassment. According to the affidavit, unidentified individuals, believed to be security operatives, have been trailing him and inquiring about his whereabouts from friends and neighbors.
Abdiwahab accuses senior government officials of orchestrating a cover-up and questions the state’s reluctance to produce his brother, who went missing on July 8, 2025. He says the silence and failure by state agencies to provide concrete information is a sign of foul play and demands Hussein’s immediate release or production in court dead or alive.
The affidavit comes amid growing public pressure and protests in Wajir County, where residents have taken to the streets demanding answers over Hussein’s fate. His disappearance has sparked national outrage, especially given his senior position in government.
Meanwhile, human rights organizations and opposition leaders have condemned the alleged threats and called on the government to uphold the rule of law.
