Family disputes suicide claims in GSU officer’s death
A family has rejected suicide claims surrounding the death of a General Service Unit (GSU) officer at the Kenya-Somalia border
A family has rejected suicide claims surrounding the death of a General Service Unit (GSU) officer at the Kenya-Somalia border, demanding a thorough investigation into what they describe as a mysterious killing.
Speaking on Monday, Garissa Town MP Dekow Mohamed expressed deep suspicion over the circumstances surrounding the death of Hussein Ahmed Sahal, who was stationed at Damajali along the Kenya-Somalia border.
“A young serving police officer by the name of Hussein Ahmed Sahal, serving the country at the border of Kenya-Somalia in a place called Damajali, was brutally killed by unknown people,” the legislator stated.
The MP, speaking as both a family member and area representative, insisted that the officer’s death was suspicious and involved foul play.
“We, as the family, or as a member of parliament, we highly suspect his death to be very mysterious, and there was foreplay in the circumstances in which he died,” Dekow said.
He described the deceased as a dedicated officer who was committed to defending the country from insurgents at the border.
“The young officer was a very dedicated young man, serving his country at the border, trying to defend the country from insurgents from across the country. And unfortunately, it’s a huge shocker to us as a family and as the leader, which happened yesterday. And we’re here for justice,” the MP added.

The officer’s sister also disputed the suicide narrative, pointing to evidence that contradicts such claims.
“According to us, our brother was killed. Committing suicide, according to their story, is not a suicidal thing. It is not. Because whoever does suicide, if you check the picture well, that’s not a suicidal thing,” she stated.
Authorities have indicated that samples have been collected for further analysis to determine the actual cause of death.
“The specimen has been taken and to be forwarded to the government chemistry for toxicology. So after the result, that’s when now we’ll conclude what really caused the death of the deceased officer,” an official stated.
The family has been urged to remain calm as investigators work to establish the truth.
“I’m urging members of the family to stay calm. Let us give our officers time to do a thorough investigation, just as the doctor has briefed the family that the officers doing the investigation have to go back to the scene to do more. To ascertain the path of investigation so that we have a good conclusion on the cause of death,” the official added.
