Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohamed Amin has been ordered to produce Dela Ward Member of County Assembly Yussuf Hussein Ahmed who went missing over weeks ago.
High court judge Alexander Muteti further ordered the DCI and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to give an explanation of Hussein’s whereabouts, if they will not be producing him in court on Friday September 27.
“Chebii for the D. P. P. do take instructions from the Inspector General of Police and the Director of Criminal Investigations and return to this court tomorrow at 10:00am with proper instructions to enable the court give proper directions regarding the disposal of the main application,” ruled Judge Muteti.
The court further ordered the Attorney General be served and appear in court or send a representative in the matter.
Further, the court has admitted Law Society of Kenya as interested party in the Habeas Corpus application for the release of the missing MCA Yusuf Hussein Ahmed.
“The Law Society of Kenya and HAKI AFRICA be and is hereby admitted to proceed to participate in the proceedings henceforth,” ordered Judge Muteti.
The court also ordered the Director of Public Prosecution to obtain instructions from the IG and DCI and return with proper instructions to enable the court to give the proper directions regarding the disposal of the main application.
The family of the missing MCA moved to court seeking the court to compel the Police to produce him or give information on his whereabouts after he was abducted in a taxi.
Abdikadir Adibdullahi Ahmed, Hussein’s cousin had said the Deputy Inspector General of Police and Amin should appear in court and explain their relative’s whereabouts.
The family is apprehensive that their kin was abducted by police officers.
They said the police have refused to either allow his family to visit him in custody or refused to present him before a court of law, in case there are charges against him.
The family said their kin went missing on the night of September 13, 2024 at South B estate.
They alleged that he was forcefully removed from a taxi that he had ordered from the said estate at 8pm and bundled into another vehicle.
