NAIROBI, Kenya Nov 8 – Missing lawyer and scholar Hassan Nandwa has been found in Mwingi.
Nandwa went missing on October 28 when he went to report the disappearance. of his client Elgiva Bwire who is yet to be found.
Bwire went missing as soon as he was freed on completion of his terror jailterm.
Nandwa told his family that he was dumped in a bush by unknown people at midnight.
Officials from the Jamia Mosque said the lawyer has been brought to Nairobi for a medical check up.
Last week, Justice Anthony Murima issued an order for the production of Nandwa and his client ex-terror convict Elgiva Bwire.
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) had threatened to mobilise lawyers for peaceful demonstrations on Wednesday over the abduction.
According to the Law Society of Kenya, the demonstration under the “Purple Ribbon Campaign Week” were meant to speak against enforced disappearances.
In a statement, LSK Chief Executive Officer Mercy Wambua “this is not the first case where an advocate has mysteriously disappeared in the course of their duty. This scenario represents an existential threat to the ability of advocates to offer services to their clients in an environment that is devoid of intimidation, threats, harm or even loss of life.”
The High Court on Friday issued an order to Safaricom to produce call logs of lawyer Nandwa, who disappeared last month in Nairobi’s city center.
The lawyer and Muslim scholar disappeared, hours after his client, ex-terror convict Elgiva Bwire also went missing following an abduction.
