Mr Oyamo was arrested in connection to the killing of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno and botched abduction of Nation Journalist Barack Oduor.
A mystery man gained access to Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s Personal Assistant Michael Oyamo in a cell who claimed to be a military man who was on official mission.
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”.
“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.”
“My line of questioning Oyamo was simply about his clearance from the military and not related to Sharon’s death.”
Nyanza criminal investigations boss Michael Barasa said Mr Ouko had a letter from the military and produced a KDF identification card.
“We are following up the matter because we understand he produced the documents before he was allowed to meet the suspect,” Mr Barasa said.
Mr Ouko’s defence came as Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji called for investigations into circumstances under which the emissary gained access to the Homa Bay Police Station.
