Former Isiolo County Chief Officer of Health Mohamed Abdirahman has described a harrowing ordeal in which he was allegedly abducted, assaulted and left for dead, claiming the attack was orchestrated by Isiolo Governor Ibrahim Abdi Guyo.

Mr Abdirahman told journalists that the violence erupted after he refused to renew his contract as chief officer for Health, citing a toxic working environment and what he described as sabotage by the governor.
