The family of Hussein Abdirahman Mohamed, the Wajir Huduma Centre boss, has moved to court seeking state intervention following his mysterious disappearance on July 8, 2025.
Through lawyer Danstan Omari, the family filed a habeas corpus application urging the court to compel the government to produce Hussein, dead or alive.
Hussein, a civil servant employed by the Public Service Commission and the Ministry of Interior, served as the deputy commissioner and manager of the Huduma Centre in Wajir.
According to Omari, Hussein was last seen during an official visit by Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Geoffrey Ruku, who had travelled to Wajir to inspect operations at the Huduma Centre.
Hussein reportedly welcomed the CS and conducted a tour of the facility.
“A day before he disappeared, the minister for public service CS Ruku was in Wajir to officially observe the operations of the huduma centre, Hussein had been deployed to be the manager of the Huduma centre, the CS was welcomed by Hussein, the CS supervised Hussein's work after the Cabinet Secretary left, the next day Hussein left to work, since that day, Hussein has never been seen,” Omari explained.

He vanished the following day after leaving for work and has not been seen or heard from since.
“We are disturbed and broken by the sudden disappearance of our brother, who was last seen on Tuesday, July 8, 2025. It has now been several days since he went missing, and despite growing public concern, there has been no sufficient communication from relevant authorities regarding his whereabouts or any process of investigations,” said Maimuna Osman, Hussein’s sister.
Abdi Mohamed, another family member, expressed frustration over the silence from authorities and demanded a transparent and independent investigation into Hussein’s disappearance.
“We call upon the DCI, IG Police, the ODPP, all relevant government agencies and human rights organisations to treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. We will not rest until we know what happened to our brother,” he said.
Omari confirmed that the matter had been reported to the Wajir Police Station immediately after the disappearance, but no concrete action has been taken.
“Immediately, the family reported this matter to Wajir police station. No action has been taken. We have demanded from the DCI that this file be transferred immediately from Wajir to HQ in Nairobi,” Omar stated.
