The body of the missing Wajir Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Della Anole Ward, Yussuf Hussein Ahmed, was found in Lake Yahud area in Wajir County.
This was more than a month since he went missing. Police were yet to comment on the developments.
His family positively identified the mutilated body at a local mortuary. Witnesses said the body bore signs of severe torture, ruthless beating, and extensive burns.

Witnesses said the victim’s eyes had been fished out. Many locals took to social media to mourn the death.
Ahmed was abducted on September 13 and has been missing since then.
