The family of missing Assistant County Commissioner Hussein Abdirahman Mohamed has moved to court to compel the state to produce the county official, dead or alive.

Hussein, who is also a Manager at Huduma Centre in Wajir, went missing on Tuesday, July 8, with his family now filing a petition seeking to compel the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja to produce the missing county official.

In court documents obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, Hussein's family filed a habeas corpus application under a certificate of urgency demanding that the state produce Hussein or give a credible account about his whereabouts by July 14.

The county government official was last seen attending an official function, only to go missing hours later.
