Advocate Abshir Abdi 'receiving treatment', expected in court after discovery

His colleague, Ayub Mohamud Maalim, arrived at the Milimani Law Courts early Friday morning and was presented before the court.

Advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi is receiving medical attention for minor injuries sustained during his alleged abduction and is expected to appear before the Milimani High Court later on Friday, family lawyer, Eric Theuri, has told the court.

Theuri said that the lawyer was experiencing some pain following the injuries and the long journey back to Nairobi after his release.

Theuri said Abdi was seeking medical attention but was expected to appear before the court within the next one to two hours.

His colleague, Ayub Mohamud Maalim, arrived at the Milimani Law Courts early Friday morning and was presented before the court.

The two men were reportedly found in Marsabit County on Thursday, nearly two weeks after they were allegedly abducted in Nairobi.

Theuri told the court that the family received news of their discovery while proceedings in the habeas corpus application were ongoing.

He said they subsequently established contact with the Deputy County Criminal Investigations Officer (DCIO) in Sololo, near the Kenya-Ethiopia border, and confirmed that Abdi and Maalim had been found.

The lawyer said the two were located in Rawana and Uran, two different locations in Marsabit County.
