A pregnant university student in Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s love saga has been found dead, two days after she was abducted from a hotel in Rongo town.
26-year-old Sharon Otieno was abducted together with a Nation journalist Barack Oduor who was pursuing her story that reportedly implicated Governor Obado in a love triangle.
The lifeless body of Sharon was found on Wednesday morning dumped in Kodera Forest, Homa Bay County. She was a second-year student at Rongo University in Migori and the first-born in a family of four.
Homa Bay Police boss Marius said her body was taken to Rachuonyo Sub-county District Hospital mortuary. She was seven months pregnant.
Sharon had allegedly met the journalist at a hotel in Rongo on Monday night to share her story on how Governor Okoth Obado had impregnated and abandoned her.
It is at the said venue where the two were kidnapped by unknown men, but the journalist managed to escape a few hours later.
In a recorded statement with Nyanza Regional CID Coordinator, the journalist narrated how he was abducted but managed to jump out of the moving car at Nyangweso Market Centre in Rangwe constituency. He was badly injured and currently admitted to the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu.
On Tuesday, police arrested Governor Obado’s personal assistant Michael Oyamo in connection with the abduction.
In a statement on Wednesday, government spokesperson Eric Kiraithe said suspects in the abduction will be brought to book.
“It now appears that his abduction was an attempted murder…we take this opportunity to assure the public and the media fraternity in particular that this matter will be expeditiously investigated,” Kiraithe said.
As much as it was a love…
As much as it was a love triangle involving a father his son and Sharon (and an innocent unborn baby) taking the life of Sharon and her baby should not go unpunished. This is easily an open and shut case for the DCI/DPP, unless they choose to look the other way because of the persons involved.
Governor Okoth Obado needs…
Governor Okoth Obado needs to be hanged in Kamiti as soon as posible. Africans are known for being polygamous pia we know mipango ya kando exist. Why kill the girl you have impregnate? Just being a baby daddy and life moves on. Now you will be refered to Governor Okoth Obado the murderer.
Exactly. The HANGman’s noose…
Exactly. The HANGman’s noose needs to make a Return in Kenya for the Murderous and the CORRUPT. No kidding.
No one is safe in Kenya, not…
No one is safe in Kenya, not even those who think they are safe. They were going to create a story the journalist and Sharon had something going on but alas one lived to tell the story. That was Musando style killing so perhaps thats how they do it in now. Garissa governor’s case is similar too only that an innocent witness who dared tell the compromised cops the truth died in custody now his wife is missing. These politicians are now killing common mwananchi like flies.
Right. The Msando murder…
Right. The Msando murder came to my Mind too.
May Justice prevail for her…
May Justice prevail for her and may the wrath of hell befall her tormentors. Power seekers shall perish by the same power they crave.
Rest with the Angels Sharon
