Of course the president shouldn’t drink. He should only kill, loot, abduct, impoverish, champion tribal bigotry, and gaslight.
But drinking, that’s where the damned line is!

That Wakili Abshir is barely a year into practice should heighten LSK’s concern. Young advocates already face formidable barriers. Safety in line of duty must never become another. LSK must ensure fear has no place in the Bar. A fearful Bar is the breeding ground of tyranny.
The annexures to the Habeas Corpus Application for Wakili Abshir paints a gruesome picture. They intimidated him for his work by detaining him. Then they resorted to abducting him.

Dear Advocates,
We are all Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi. Let’s meet at 2.30 PM at Milimani.
#FreeWakiliAbshir
Lawyers and advocates are the last line of defense against tyranny. In Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Jack Cade’s henchman advises him to begin by killing all the lawyers so he can succeed as a dictator.
Abshir’s abduction is a loud message that we’re not untouchable.

Yesterday in court, IG Douglas Kanja emphatically told the court that Kenya is safe because we all left our homes and arrived safely in court.
But Abshir did not. He has not been to court, or home or anywhere the last 4 days.
Kenya is not safe for anyone!
One day,you are in court prosecuting habeas corpus applications for citizens and non-citizens abducted by the Abductors' Coalition.The next,it is a fellow advocate abducted in the line of duty. You realise that tomorrow,it could be you
We are not safe in this country!

What is the better boycott and protest time than this time when one of us in danger of his life being deprived? Or are we waiting to put on purple ribbons when things have become worse and our colleague is lifeless?
@ckanjama we need an extraordinary action. This is the life of a colleague
The good news is that this morning the LSK has sent us a paper tiger 4 days after the abduction of our colleague, saying exactly what we all know, and nothing else.

Ordinarily we should have all downed our tools until the safe return of our colleague. This includes all Advocates, Judicial Officers and Judges, who are Advocates first. Our colleague's life may be on the line and we are behaving as if all is normal?

Justice Muya certified it urgent, but it will be heard on Monday.
How urgent is an application that is supposed to guarantee the subject’s best chances of being found alive if it is heard 8 DAYS AFTER they’re taken?
That was poorly considered on the court’s part.
The family of wakili Abshir filed a habeas corpus application but because it did not have the institutional backing of LSK @LawSocietyofKe Justice Muya fixed it for mention next week Monday. By then who knows what could have happened?
LSK should get its act together and stand firmly to protect advocates. LSK must file an urgent application to stress just how serious this matter is and @Kenyajudiciary must also treat the matter of abduction of advocate Abshir seriously!

The police should produce Advocate Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi without any further delay. We are not interested in explanations because they either have him or ought to know where he is.

Advocate, Abshir was abducted on the morning of 1st November at 4.40 AM. He has been held incommunicado for 73 hours as at 6.00AM today.
That is 50 hours past the constitutional limit of 24 hours! An advocate of the High Court.
How much lower can a state sink? If you see this just amplify and DEMAND for the unconditional release of wakili Abshir Abdi!
Wanjira Maina retweeted
It cannot be business as usual when any Kenyan is abducted, leave alone an advocate of the High Court.
Advocate, Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi was abducted on 1/11/26 along Muchai Drive. His motor vehicle was recovered on the same road. The incident was at Kilimani Police Station - 55/1/11/2026 .
Reports from people who witnessed the incident, indicate he was pursued by 2 motor vehicles, a Prado TX and a double cab. The occupants of those vehicles had guns and 2 were in what seemed like police uniform and bullet proof vests.
The abduction is linked to a case he’s involved in against some senior police officers & he’s been subjected to various intimidation tactics prior to this incident.
All KENYANS must now stand in solidarity with lawyers at this time. We have stood with Kenyans, selflessly, free of charge. It is time for Kenyans to pay back in Kind.
We should all peacefully hold a procession to Vigilance House demanding the release of the Abducted Advocate forthwith!
Counsel Abshir Ahmedsadak’s violent abduction was executed by people that were intent on displaying a show of force.
As advocates we have shown up for Kenyans when we’ve been needed, and now, we pray that Kenyans show up for us. Make noise for us.
Counsel Abshir must be found.
Wanjira Maina retweeted
Today it is Wakili Abshir. Tomorrow it is any of us who stands in court against powerful people.
To every advocate: this is not someone else's fight. Stand with Advocate Abshir. Stand with his family.

The circumstances surrounding Lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi’s abduction bear disturbing similarities to the methods associated with state security operations. These allegations must be urgently and independently investigated.

I will be retweeting all tweets demanding for the release of Wakili Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi.
