Supporters of Migori Governor Governor Okoth Obado on Sunday staged protests demanding he be released from police custody.
Governor Obado was arrested on Friday and was grilled for several hours at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters in Nairobi.
He has been spending the weekend at Gigiri Police Station before being arraigned in court on Monday where will be charged over the killing of Rongo University Student Sharon Otieno.
The demonstrators, who took to the streets of Uriri town, demanded the Governor’s release saying that the murder charges against him are politically instigated.
“We want our governor to be released on bond,” a protestor by the name Michael Omollo said.
Obado was arrested a day after DNA tests confirmed that he fathered the seven-month-old unborn baby boy who was in the 26-year-old student’s womb before she was brutally killed.
“There are 99.99+% more chances that Zacharia Okoth Obado is the biological father of the donor of the DNA generated from the foetus that is Sharon Otieno’s child,” the DNA statement reads as quoted by Daily Nation.
The Governor confirmed that he was in a love relationship with Sharon but denied any role in her murder.
“As a law abiding citizen, I want to state here very clearly that I have nothing… and absolutely nothing… to do with the cruel death of Sharon,” stated the embattled Governor during a press address.
The victim was stabbed eight times and died as a result of excessive bleeding.
Obado is a murderer. Can…
Obado is a murderer. Can these foolish demonstrators bring Sharon back to life? Next time you are the next to be killed by this monster. Let him rot in jail
Every “downtown” in Kenya is…
Every “downtown” in Kenya is well equipped with a bunch of idlers and especially men unfortunately. All one has to do is pay them ksh100 to walk down the street yelling whatever nonesense you demand of them. Tragic to be poor and foolish. This is just pocket change to Obando who has already stolen millions if not billions from the county. If he had the chance he would eliminate all the witnesses. They are lucky to be in custody.
The following (in the News)…
The following (in the News) could be Reason for Obado’s Anger murder of Ms. Otieno: It reads that By and by, Mr Obado was given the terms: “Ms Otieno wanted Sh20 million to buy a house in Nairobi or Kisumu and Sh5 million for her upkeep.” Case in Point: This sounds Blackmail and would make any man Mad.

Is n’t Sharon,and the unborn baby part of the community as well..?And dont they deserve respect,and justice?
What do these goons mean my politically motivated? Let Obado face his day in court,and go there to prove your case with these political irrelevance…
We cannot have civil disobedience borne of stupidity.This is simple folks. There is a murder investigation,and Obado is the prime suspect, given the ample evidence gathered so far.The evidence dont point anywhere else.Let justice prevail.
These goons should also explain how Obados dipping into county funds,as politically motivated.Donn’t you people in Migori want justice and good governance?Blindly supporting your leader can be very dangerous Open your eyes and mind before you are led stray.
It’s Political; and it’s…
It’s Political; and it’s meant to save Obado’s face.
How about Sharon family?…
How about Sharon family? Before they demonstrate they think about the grieving family
Some communities have really…
Some communities have really stupid characters. There is no hope. This is the main suspect in a very brutal murder of a mother to be. He is the main character in hundreds of millions shillings of taxpayers money stolen from the county. Justice should not be interrupted by hooligans who have no brains to reason out. The government has a very strong case on this guy. There is a murder case as well as major financial corruption charges on him and his family. He needs to answer for them asap. Before you make those stupid demands as demonstrators pause first and use your brains.
