The trial of former Migori Governor Okoth Obado, his personal assistant Michael Oyamo, and Caspal Obiero in the 2018 brutal murder of Sharon Otieno and her unborn child resumed today at Milimani High Court in Nairobi.
A prosecution witness told the court how a journalist escaped from his claimed kidnappers and fled to his home for safety.
Kennedy Onyango Kasera, a taxi driver, testified before High Court judge Cecelia Githua that he was with his family on September 3, 2018 at 20:30 hours when he noticed someone entering his home.
“I heard somebody screaming… then I asked my son to open the door and we saw someone entering my house and he went straight to my bedroom…he was breathing fast…my son was afraid,” testified Kasera.
Kasera said that the journalist told him that he was kidnapped together with another lady.
“I asked him who he was and he identified himself as Barrack, and that he’s a media practitioner and said that he was kidnapped together with another lady and he managed to escape. He however did not tell me the persons who allegedly kidnapped him,” he told the court.
According to him, the journalist said that the lady had been impregnated by a governor and they were meeting with the PA (Personal Assistant).
