The mysterious person who was allowed access to Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo in a cell on Saturday has claimed he is a military officer and was on official duty.
Mr Oyamo was arrested in connection to the killing of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno and the failed abduction of Nation Journalist Barack Oduor.
He said he had contacted his bosses in Mombasa “to handle this issue because I have received several calls with threats for having a link with Sharon’s murder”.
He went on: “I was sent officially to find out whether Mr Oyamo had made necessary clearance from the Navy, which he left sometime in 2014.”
“I did not discuss Sharon’s death with him. In fact, I was accompanied by a police officer, Inspector Wafula, and only took less than 20 minutes with Oyamo.”
The matter caused a heated debate on Social Media as Kenyans sought to find out who he was and what his official role was. To say that most Kenyans hardly believe his explanation would be an understatement.
Safe cells? No!
The reports that a KDF importer gained access into a cell and met Michael Oyamo, Shows how insecure our police stations are.
