The family of Dela Ward Member of County Assembly Yussuf Hussein has moved to court seeking orders to have the Inspector General of Police and the DCI produce him in court.
In the application, Hussein’s cousin, Abdikadir Adibdullahi Ahmed was the court to summon the IG and DCI in whose custody they believe him to be.
Through lawyer Danstan Omari, the family states that the MCA was kidnapped from a taxi while on his was to Pangani from South C on 13th September 2024 at around 9 PM.
He added that the alleged kidnapers were driving in two Land cruiser Prados and accosted the MCA along Lusaka Road forcing him out of the taxi at gun point.
“Four days after the ordeal nobody has accounted for the whereabouts of the said Yussuf Hussein Ahmed despite there being two OBs for the incident,” Omari said.
According to Omari and the family, Hussein’s whereabouts remain unknown and unaccounted for and there is reasonable fear that he was abducted by officers attached to the respondents (police and DCI) whom have refused to either allow his family to visit him in custody and/or refused to present him before a court of law to answer to any charge in law.
“Unless this honourable court intervenes and compels the Respondents to produce the said Yussuf Hussein Ahmed before this court or any other court with the requisite jurisdiction, the applicant and his family will continue to live with anxiety and stress caused by the forced disappearance and abduction of their loved one without the benefit of being subjected to any legal proceedings,” Omari submitted.
