Quick post - to say in Somali 'What happened?', we say,
Maxaa dhacay?
If you want to say, 'What happened to you?', we say,
Maxaa kugu dhacay? - What happened to you?
'kugu' is a combination of 'ku' (you) and 'ku' (preposition: 'to, with, by means of'). When you put the two ku's together, they become 'kugu'.
Him, her and them don't have object pronouns, so if you want to say 'What happened to him/her/them?' , just use the preposition 'ku',
Maxaa ku dhacay? - What happened to him/her/them?
Other combinations,
Maxaa igu dhacay? - What happened to me?
Maxaa idinku dhacay? - What happened to you(plural)?
Maxaa nagu dhacay? - What happened to us(exclusive; not very common)?
Maxaa inagu dhacay? - What happened to us (inclusive; much more common)?
