Melida Auma spent the day in Court on Monday as she attended the first court session for Governor Obado where he was been charged with murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
She further accused the Migori Governor of betraying her daughter Sharon who “loved him a lot”
According to Auma, “I felt tormented and wondered how he could just be involved in the brutal killing of my beloved child. I asked myself endless questions on just how he could have betrayed my child who loved him a lot.”
Ms Auma was overwhelmed with emotion and broke down with tears rolling down her eyes.
Auma’s husband, Douglas Otieno, kept a brave face as he accompanied his wife to court, only moving to wipe her tears.
He said that despite the pain, the arrest and arraignment in court of the Migori Governor had given them some optimism that justice would be served.
“I felt comforted that as a family, we will find justice for my daughter and her unborn child. Seeing the governor behind the dock gave some assurance that Sharon’s killers will face the law,” Douglas said.
Obado will on Tuesday afternoon attended the Milimani High Court where his bail application will be considered.
