Freed Obado to spend another night in jail

Migori Governor Okoth Obado will spend another night in remand jail even after he was freed on a Ksh.5million bail on Wednesday.

His lawyer said there was an issue with one of his sureties and having no time to handle that before the close of business, decided to deal with it on Thursday morning. This means he’ll spend the night at the Industrial Area remand prison.

The Governor deposited the Ksh.5 million cash bail and also presented two of his cars, a Toyota Prado and Toyota Land Cruiser V8 as sureties.

Other conditions for his release were that not go anywhere near the Sharon Otieno murder scene.

“He shall not go anywhere within 20Kms of Homabay County boundary on all sides of that county,” Justice Jessie Lessit warned.

She further directed that Obado should not skip any court session as his bail could be revoked at any time.

The Migori Governor was charged over the murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno on September 24.
