The court has ordered the state to produce Nairobi City County Johnson Sakaja’s key liaison person Osman Khalif Abdi.
High Court Judge Chacha Mwita directed the Attorney General and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to produce Osman in Milimani law court or any other court on November 17, 2023.
Osman’s whereabouts have remained unknown since his abduction at a mall in Nairobi on November 10, 2023.
The court further ordered that if the two state bodies do not produce Osman they should show cause why he should not be released.
The orders were issued after his wife Yasmin Osman moved to court under a certificate of urgency.
The former South C ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) and Nairobi Liaison Officer was allegedly taken by five gunmen inside a mall in Westlands at around 5 pm. They were reportedly using a double-cabin vehicle.
They family says they are yet to receive any communication from the police on his whereabouts.
Osman served as the South C Member of County Assembly (MCA) between 2017 and 2022.
