The court is set to hear a habeas corpus application seeking the production of advocate Abshir Abdi, who was reportedly abducted nine days ago.

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino said the matter was mentioned in court on Tuesday, with the court directing that the hearing proceed on Wednesday at 2:00 pm.

Owino, who attended the court proceedings, said the applicant would present a witness during the hearing.

The application seeks to have Abdi produced before the court following reports of his alleged abduction.

In a statement shared on his social media account, Owino called on the government to address cases of abductions and uphold the rule of law.

He further stressed that anyone arrested must be informed of the reasons for their arrest and promptly presented before a court, adding that law enforcement officers must also be held accountable under the law.

The court hearing is expected to provide an opportunity for the applicant to present evidence in support of the application.
