Lawyer Miguna Miguna wants murder case against former Migori Governor Okoth Obado dropped.
Miguna says that Obado who is facing murder charges over the death of Sharon Otieno, is innocent.
The exiled lawyer claims that Obado’s case was politically instigated and urged the Directorate of Public Prosecutions(DPP) to drop the case
Miguna was reacting to the DPP’s move to withdraw graft charges against former Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal and ex-Malindi Member of Parliament Aisha Jumwa, who claim they were victims of political extremism.
The outspoken lawyer says Obado’s case will be the next to be withdrawn
“Cases must never be initiated against innocent Kenyans in order to create work for the EACC, DCI and Judiciary”.
“Okoth Obado is next. Impregnating a woman is not a crime. There is zero evidence that Okoth Obado murdered Sharon Otieno. I said zero. Okoth Obado was charged to stop him from campaigning against Ochillo Ayako,” he added.
Obado and his personal assistant Michael Juma Oyamo and former County Clerk Caspal Obiero were charged with the murder of Sharon and her unborn baby.
The 24-year-old was found murdered in a thicket in September 2018 after being abducted by unknown persons.
She was at the time seven months pregnant. An autopsy report revealed that Sharon’s killers stabbed her eight times killing her and the foetus.
The accused persons denied the murder charges and are out on bail.
