The football fraternity was also drowned in mourning following the death of James Oduor alias “Odu Cobra” who died on the eve of his birthday following the Riverside attack. Oduor was known for his passion for football.

He loved the grassroots game and set up the YouTube fan site, Wadau TV, a year ago.

He was a university friend of BBC business editor Larry Madowo who tweeted, “He was one of the nicest, happiest people I’ve ever met. Rest well, Odu, nind maber [Luo for rest in peace]. The world is better because you lived.”
