A 32-year-old man of Somali origin, who is of unsound mind, has been missing from his home in Bulla Qalanqal, Masalani town, Ijara sub-county, Garissa County, since August 2025.
The man identified as Kassim Mohamud left their home without the knowledge of his parents and his brother Rashid Mohamed.
Mohamud said he got lost eight months ago before he was seen in Hola town last August in neighbouring Tana River County, after which he went missing.
His brother Rashid Mohamed said Mohamud, whose health condition is inborn, was violent and would not like to be confined at home.
Rashid revealed that despite his brother being of unsound mind, he speaks Kiswahili and Somali fluently.
Rashid, who said the family is worried about him appealed to good Samaritans and well-wishers to contact Rashid Mohamed on phone numbers 0111849830 or 0721260876 or 0713926357 in case they come across his brother.
The family had reported the incident of the missing Kassim Mohamud at the Masalani police station in Ijara sub-county in August when he left home in the wee hours of the morning.
