Obado arrested after police found guns in city home
Migori Governor Okoth Obado was on Wednesday afternoon detained by detectives at a police station in Nairobi.
This comes a day after Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detectives raided his office and homes and confiscated, among other things, eight firearms, several bank statements and electronics.
During the raid, police found five firearms in Nairobi while sources within EACC said they recovered another three in Migori.
The detectives pounced at dawn, and spent hours rummaging through documents that could help in their investigations into alleged misappropriation of Sh2 billion in Migori County.
EACC has been investigating how the county chief allegedly abused his position to steal public funds through companies registered by his relatives.
The governor is out on bail after he was arrested for the murder of university student Sharon Otieno.
