Weeks after he was reported missing, a body suspected to be the missing Dela MCA was found in Lake Yakub in Wajir County, causing tension in the area.
However, two DNA tests conducted on the body revealed it was not that of the Dela Ward MCA.
On February 5, Activist Bob Njagi, one of the three individuals abducted in Kitengala in August 202,4 claimed he saw Yussuf in the same location where he was held.
Speaking during an interview, Njagi recalled peeping through a hole into the room next to him and seeing a man of Somali origin.
“The MCA for Wajir County was actually in the room next to where I was held. I had an opportunity of peeping through the keyhole and I saw him. I remember very well it was September, Friday 13, and I noticed someone had been brought in the middle of the night, which is not normal, and the room he was taken to was next to mine. I did my own investigation and found out it was a man of Somali origin,” Njagi revealed.
