In a statement issued on Tuesday, LSK President Charles Kanjama expressed concern over the disappearance, saying it may be linked to Abdi's involvement in a criminal case before the Makadara Law Courts, where he is reportedly a complainant and key witness.

Kanjama said LSK had received earlier correspondence raising concerns over the alleged threats, calling for an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Abdi’s disappearance.

“The Society is particularly concerned about the reports that the Advocate's disappearance may be connected to his professional involvement in Criminal Case No. MCCR/E2910/2025, Republic v Ahmed Ali Mohamed, currently before the Makadara Law Courts, in which he is reportedly a complainant and key witness,” Kanjama said.
