Obado left the event midway and rushed to the basement of the five-star hotel where he was arrested as he tried to leave in a taxi.

Police explained that Obado had called a taxi and asked the management of the hotel to allow it to drive into the basement, where he boarded it, ready to leave.

And according to reports by Citizen TV, Obado, who was arrested for the second time on Wednesday, clarified the ownership of the guns.

For those recovered in Migori, he said, one belongs to his personal bodyguard and another one for Caspal Obiero, his aide who is still at Industrial Area prison over the murder of Sharon Otieno.

The third one, he added, was recovered from a thief who had allegedly tried to break into his house. All five guns recovered from Nairobi, the governor noted, belong to his AP officers manning the house.
