Activist Bob Njagi has come forward with explosive claims regarding the disappearance and alleged murder of Wajir MCA Yussuf Hussein Ahmed.
Njagi, who was abducted in Kitengela in August last year, stated during a televised interview that he was held in the same secret location as the missing politician. His harrowing account places Ahmed in captivity well after his disappearance, raising fresh concerns over the circumstances of the MCA’s fate.
A Disturbing Encounter
Speaking on Citizen TV’s JKLive, Njagi recounted how, on the night of September 13, 2024, he witnessed Ahmed being brought into the facility where he was being held.
“I noticed somebody had been brought in the middle of the night, which was not normal,” Njagi recalled. “Through an opening, I saw him. Later, after my release, I investigated and confirmed that this was the MCA who had been abducted along Enterprise Road.”
Njagi, the self-proclaimed leader of the Free Kenya Movement, revealed that Ahmed was still alive at the time of his own release, 32 days later. However, the MCA’s fate remains uncertain, with his body reportedly discovered in Wajir, mutilated beyond recognition.
Unanswered Questions
The activist’s revelations come as the High Court has ordered Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to disclose the whereabouts of the missing MCA within 14 days. Investigations into the abduction have been mired in controversy, with law enforcement yet to provide concrete answers.
Ahmed, the MCA for Dela Ward, vanished under mysterious circumstances on September 13. A month later, a body recovered from Lake Yahud was believed to be his, but independent DNA tests refuted the claim, deepening the mystery.
The case has sparked nationwide outrage, with Kenya’s 47 County Assemblies threatening to adjourn House sittings until their colleague’s fate is determined. Fellow MCAs insist the State may have played a role in his disappearance, further fueling suspicions of foul play.
Growing Calls for Justice
Njagi’s account adds a new layer to an already tangled case, suggesting that Ahmed was alive long after his supposed demise. If true, his claims could put further pressure on authorities to explain the MCA’s disappearance—and what happened to him after.
As the High Court deadline looms, Kenyans await answers. Was Yussuf Hussein Ahmed a victim of political suppression? Who orchestrated his abduction? And most chillingly—who will be held accountable?
For now, the silence is deafening.
