His vehicle was later recovered along the same road, but his whereabouts remain unknown.

CCTV footage shows that at 4:41a.m. on November 1, a white saloon car was being pursued along the dark stretch of Muchai Road by a black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

Moments later, the occupants jumped out and scattered, running in different directions.

At 4:43a.m., the footage captures a desperate attempt by Abdi to escape. He runs towards a gate and attempts to climb over it, but armed men close in.

Another vehicle pulls up, and a man emerges, strikes him before walking away.

Moments later, more men wearing balaclavas descend on Abdi, blindfold him, restrain him and bundle him into a waiting black Prado.
