Governor Obado in court to face charges over Sharon’s murder


Migori Governor Okoth Obado arrived at the Milimani Law Courts Monday morning to be charged with murdering his pregnant girlfriend Sharon Otieno.

The governor spent the weekend at Gigiri police station where his interaction with his lawyers and family was highly monitored.

In a statement, the DPP’s office on Sunday said Mr Haji has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to ensure that the hitmen and other persons who have been adversely mentioned in the case are arrested.

Ms Otieno and Nation journalist Barack Oduor were abducted in Homa Bay on September 3. Mr Oyamo was in the car when the two were abducted.

Mr Oduor escaped death by jumping out of the abductor’s car while Ms Otieno’s body was found the following day in a thicket near Oyugis town.
