Kenyans on twitter are suspicious about Obado’s illness as they claim that this is a way of finding an escape route.
As reported by Citizen Digital, Migori Governor Okoth Obado has today filed another application seeking to be discharged from custody pending the hearing and determination of his case.
In the application, Obado revealed to the court that he suffers from a severe back problem known as a nerve compression with disc lesion on the lumber spine which started affecting him in the year 2013.
“To manage the condition, I have been under special care of a medical doctor by the name of Prof. Ating’a,” reads the application.
He argues that the condition has adversely affected his ability to stand for long hours adding that since his condition has not been attended to for the period he’s been in custody, the complication aggravated and was taken ill on September 29, 2018.
Migori Governor Okoth Obado was admitted at the Kenyatta National Hospital and although medical sources had earlier indicated that the governor was responding well to treatment and might be back to his feet soon; the recent revelations suggest otherwise. Obado is still in police custody in relation to the murder of Rongo Univerity student; Sharon Otieno whose burial is set for the 19th of this month.
As other Kenyans wish him a quick recovery, some openly admitted their suspicion…

What is the cause of Okoth Obado’s illness. Is it poorly cooked food at industrial area prison or something else? I hear he has been rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital. Migori Governor Okoth Obado must feel the heat of prison. Anyway, let Sharon Otieno rest in peace.
