Mandera South Member of Parliament, Hon. Abdul Haro Kore, has issued an emotional and heartfelt welcome to five local administrators who were recently released after spending 63 harrowing days in captivity.
Speaking during their reception, Hon. Haro Kore named the returning officers as Chief Adawa Abdi Mohammed, Chief Mohamed Hassan Kulmia, Chief Mohamednur Hache, Chief Abdi Hassan Suraw, and Assistant Chief Ibrahim Gabow.
“Welcome back home, our chiefs,” the MP declared. “Your kidnapping has had a devastating effect not only on yourselves but also on your immediate families and the wider community. That fateful morning of February 3, 2025, will remain etched in our collective memory forever.”
The MP’s remarks captured the emotional gravity of the situation, underscoring the psychological toll and community disruption that followed the disappearance of the five leaders.
Their abduction sent shockwaves across Mandera and beyond, paralyzing local administrative functions and leaving families in anguish. Hon. Haro Kore lauded their courage and resilience, emphasizing that their safe return marked a moment of collective relief and unity.
While the circumstances surrounding their captivity remain under investigation, the MP reiterated the community’s call for enhanced security and surveillance along Kenya’s northeastern borders. He also urged the government to prioritize the safety of frontline officers serving in volatile and high-risk regions.
The return of the chiefs is being viewed not only as a personal triumph for their families but as a powerful symbol of resilience for the entire Mandera South constituency.
