Some Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) in Wajir have called on the national government to provide information on two men reported missing in separate incidents in Dadajabula and Nairobi.

The whereabouts of Abdi Mohamed, born 1987, and Isack Mohamed, born 2002, remain unknown after several months.

Dadajabula MCA Sahal Mogow raised the matter on Thursday, saying that despite repeated engagement with security agencies, no substantial information has been provided.

Speaking at a press briefing at the county assembly, Mogow said that local leaders, families, and the wider Dadajabula community have made numerous efforts to locate the missing men without success.

“Despite consistent engagement with security agencies, we have received no meaningful information,” he said.

Mogow added that the situation affects more than the two families directly, as it raises concerns about constitutional rights and community safety. He noted that it touches on protections for human dignity, personal security, and due process under the Constitution of Kenya.

He outlined a list of demands aimed at prompting action from the state, calling for disclosure of the men’s whereabouts. He urged the National Police Service, investigative agencies, and human rights institutions to respond urgently.

He also requested that the men be produced either in a lawful detention facility or before a court, and called on the Dadajabula community to remain calm while pursuing justice through legal channels.

“Cognisant of the anguish and despair the two families are experiencing, I urge the people of Dadajabula ward to remain calm, united, and steadfast as we pursue justice. We shall continue to use all lawful and constitutional avenues to ensure the safe return of our sons,” he said.

The appeals come nearly three weeks after Hussein Mohamed, the Wajir Huduma Centre manager, who had been missing for several months, was located at the Dhobley border. Mohamed, also known as Hussein Moi, disappeared on July 8 in Wajir town, prompting public concern.
