It was joy for wife to slain Migori Governor Hellen Obado, on Wednesday after High court judge Jesse Lessit granted Okoth Obado bail a month after he was arrested in connection to the Murder of Rongo University Student Sharon Otieno about six weeks ago.
Taking to her facebook account Mrs.Obado said”Mark 9:23, Everything is possible for one who believes.I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’, and it would move. Nothing would be impossible – Mathew 17:20.”
Mrs. Obado, a staunch Christian fondly referred to as Mama Kanisa, could not hide her joy as she hugged the father of her children outside Milimani Law Courts and to cap it all, she resorted to the teachings on faith amidst tribulations.
Governor Obado was on Wednesday released after spending nearly five weeks in state custody.
Obado was released but his co-accused Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero were denied bail by Milimani High Court judge Jessie Lesiit.
The judge issued a cash bail of Sh5 million or two sureties of Sh5 million each.
Obado surrendered himself to the police on September 21, after detectives linked him to the murder of the slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
Ms Sharon Otieno, was abducted and later murdered, four of the governor’s aides gathered at a home about five kilometres from Migori Town.
The four — Mr Michael Juma Oyamo, a personal assistant, Mr Caspal Ojwang, another personal assistant, Police Constable Elvis Omondi, the governor’s bodyguard and Mr Dick Ogolla, the Sergeant-at-arms at Migori County Assembly.
The series of events that led up to the death of Ms Otieno were kicked off by a call from Mr Omondi Okoth Elvis, a police constable attached to the governor’s security team.
Claimed that Mr Omondi called a taxi driver, Mr Jackson Otieno Gombe, the driver of a grey Toyota Fielder, KCL 418K, to pick up Mr Oyamo at Uriri town on the Migori-Rongo road. Uriri is the hometown of the governor.
According to sources, some who were briefed on the investigation, at around 6pm Mr Gombe picked Mr Oyamo as well as two other men — whom witnesses claimed belonged to the governor’s campaign team during the last election — at Uriri and headed towards Rongo town.
The final destination was Graca Hotel where Ms Otieno and Nation correspondent Barack Oduor drank Penasol wine as they waited for Mr Oyamo.
