A Huduma Centre manager who had been missing for more than four months has been found near the Kenya-Somalia border at Dhobley.

According to a family spokesperson, Hussein Abdirahman Mohamed, popularly known as Hussein Moi, was discovered on Thursday, November 20, 2025, in a weak, fragile, and visibly traumatised state.

“He has been found in Dhobley, but he is in very bad shape and status. From the photos, he looks weak and emaciated. We are coordinating with Somali and Kenyan authorities to transfer him to Wajir as soon as possible,” a family spokesperson said.

The family member confirmed that the manager, popularly known as Hussein Moi, is currently in the custody of Somali authorities in Dhobley, with arrangements underway for his transfer to Kenyan authorities.

Hussein was last seen on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, around 10 a.m. in Wajir town. His disappearance sparked widespread concern among residents and condemnation from leaders, who called on the government to provide updates about his whereabouts.

In a letter dated July 30, Eldas Member of Parliament Adnan Keynan addressed the Inspector General (IG) with urgent questions regarding the investigation into Hussein’s disappearance.

MP Keynan criticized the lack of visible institutional response, noting that it had deepened public anxiety and undermined confidence in the process.

“What are the known circumstances and verified timelines surrounding the disappearance of Hussein, and what preliminary findings, if any, have been made, particularly now, over three weeks since the incident occurred?” Keynan asked.

The lawmaker also demanded clarity on whether surveillance footage, forensic evidence, mobile phone tracking data, or eyewitness testimony had been gathered to reconstruct Hussein’s last movements.

He further questioned the role of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and other security agencies, asking if any suspects had been identified, questioned, or detained.

Keynan highlighted the silence from government agencies, noting that no official updates had been issued to the family, Hussein’s employer, or the public.
