Wajir MCA Confirmed Dead After Missing for a Month

Abducted Wajir MCA Found Dead

Member of the Wajir County Assembly (MCA) and Minority Leader Yussuf Ahmed has been confirmed dead after he was reported missing on September 13, 2024.

His death was confirmed by politician Idris Bulle Mohamed who mentioned that Ahmed’s body had been found and delivered to the family.

“Body of the missing Della Ward MCA Yussuf Hussein found. Family to issue press conference shortly. The Body of the Missing Della ward MCA, Wajir County has been brought to Wajir!” Bulle said.

“May his soul rest in eternal peace!”

Bulle dismissed rumors that the MCA’s death had not been confirmed, stating that the family recognized the body.

According to Bulle, the abductors chopped off Ahmed’s nose and ears. He also mentioned that his eyes were gouged out and his face burnt to prevent the family from recognizing him.

However, he stated that the MCA always had a missing finger, which is how the family was able to identify him.

“Ignore the rumors going around that the death of our brother, the Della Ward MCA, is unconfirmed. They have chopped off his nose and ears, gouged out his eyes, and burnt his face to hide recognition! But he had a missing finger before, and that’s how the family recognized him,” Bulle said.

How Ahmed Was Abducted

Armed individuals abducted Ahmed in Nairobi on the night of September 13 on Enterprise Road while he was heading home to Pangani from South C.

The abductors took the taxi driver’s phone to prevent communication during the attack.

However, amidst the chaos, the phone accidentally fell inside the taxi and was later recovered by the driver.
