The report doesn't say this. But it is widely believed Abdiwahab was abducted by Kenyan police/security forces at the request of Somalia PM @MohamedHRoble. Roble who recently met with the UK PM @BorisJohnson and FM @DominicRaab recently had his powers suspended by @M_Farmaajo.
@MohamedHRoble @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab @M_Farmaajo The abduction came during the middle of a power struggle between President Farmaajo and Roble, precipitated in part by an unsanctioned visit by Roble to Kenya to meet with President Uhuru Kenyatta to discuss an imminent decision from the ICJ on a maritime boundary dispute.

The Somalia Crisis was discussed in the UNSC on Friday, and here is a standup with the UNSC Representative on the Council before the meeting. She did not return to brief the media afterwards.
Somalia's recent constitutional crisis is directly connected to the war against rebel TPLF fighters in Ethiopia as it was triggered by the death of Ikran Tahlil whom some allege was a spy working for foreign interests, and others claim was a whistleblower.
