Missing lawyer, Prof Hassan Nandwa, found in Mwingi

Prof Hassan Nandwa, the lawyer who mysteriously went missing 10 days ago, was dumped by his captors in Mwingi in the wee hours of Monday morning. 

His family confirmed that the lawyer is alive and in good condition but "very shaken and traumatised".

"He is not yet talking to anyone about his plight," his son Elmiqdad Hassan told the Nation.

He was dumped in Mwingi at 1am. He managed to walk to a relative's home in the area, his family says. 

His family arrived in Mwingi early in the morning and so far, relatives say they have not heard anything about his ordeal from him. 

The whereabouts of his client, ex terror convict, Elgiva Bwire, still remain unknown.

Bwire was freed from Kamiti Maximum Prison on Thursday October 28, but was abducted along with his cousin on their way to Eastleigh. They haven't been seen since.

Lawyers, through the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), previously pointed an accusing finger at security agents. In court, they argued that the disappearance of the lawyer and the ex-prisoner are closely intertwined.

His family, while happy that he is back home, also says it suspects security agents and expressed fears that enforced disappearances were becoming rampant in the country.

“All this should not have happened in the first place. We have not heard anything about his client. My father is visibly shaken and we suspect he was threatened against speaking about his unlawful detention,” his son said. 

Police officers reportedly raided Prof Nandwa's home around the time he disappeared.
