North Eastern leaders have mounted pressure following the alleged abduction of Wajir Member of County Assembly (MCA) Yussuf Ahmed who went missing on September 13, 2024, following an alleged abduction in Nairobi by unknown individuals.
Wajir North MP Ibrahim Saney has called upon members of North Eastern community to help government by identifying terror financiers and sympathisers as they produce the allegedly abudcted Della Ward MCA Yussuf Ahmed
While speaking at Parliament Buildings on Tuesday 17th, September, flanked by over 30 legislators from the region, the vocal lawmaker called upon the community to share any information with the security apparatus of suspicion elements and dealings
However, Saney, emphasised that there’s no legal framework to abduct any Kenyan even if he’s being involved in unlawful activities and the law must be respected, pleading with those behind the abduction of the Della Ward MCA Yussuf Ahmed to produce him at any court or police station
“We are telling the security apparatus to operate within the available instruments of justice, if anyone is suspected of hiding criminality or doing unlawful dealings shouldn’t be abducted, this is a person who has children, the best practice of the tenets of the law should apply. By this, we want to be told where is our missing MCA,” Saney underlined.

The MCA was reported to have been abducted by unknown assailants on Enterprise Road in Makadara Constituency, at 9 pm using a Landcruiser Prado and since then, his whereabouts remain a mystery.
Initial reports indicated that he had been found at Uriri Hospital in Migori County, a claim that could not be verified.
While pushing for the authorities to produce the MCA, Wajir County Assembly Speaker Abdille Yussuf Mohamed condemned the incident asking President William Ruto to walk the talk which he sore during the inauguration to uphold and protect the constitution of Kenya
He reminisced him that Kenyans had higher expectations when he declared no extra judicial killings will happen under his watch and even releasing three people who had been abducted so the same extension should include to the missing county legislator
“As leaders from the Northern Kenya, we shall not accept our members to be treated in a such manner. We demand the release of Honourable Member, he should be taken to court to answer any allegations or any wrongdoing levelled against him instead of holding him incommunicado.

He’s a family man, he’s children and relatives who depend on him. Why should you hold someone for more than 24 hours without communicating to his or her family? This itself is a criminal behaviour! Has Kenya turned to be a Banana Republican? We want these answers to be answered by those perpetrating this heinous act!,” The vocal speaker stated
The presser had been organised by the Members of Parliament as well as the Senators and local from the three frontier counties, all voicing one message that unless the MCA is brought back to join his family, they will do everything humanly possible even if it’s reporting the matter to international criminal justice systems so as to make sure that his whereabouts are traced
