Thursday, April 24,
2025 - Former Migori Governor Okoth Obado has told a Nairobi court that he
ended his relationship with slain university student Sharon Otieno due to what
he termed as “inconsistencies,” not because she was pregnant with his child.
Testifying for the second day in his defense, Obado
described the relationship as one that began amicably but deteriorated over
time.
“We started as friends, but then came the inconsistencies,”
he said.
“I told her I wanted to be a responsible person, now that
she was carrying my child. I wanted her to be comfortable.”
Obado insisted that even after the relationship ended, he
continued to offer emotional and financial support.
“Even after terminating the relationship, I was still giving
her money for her welfare and for the child she was carrying for me.”
“I told her it was okay to carry my baby. I did not end the
relationship because of the pregnancy.”
“I had planned to settle her, including looking for land to
build her a house - that was just to settle her because she was carrying my
child,” he said.
“She wanted to move to a rental in Homa Bay, and I provided
for that,” he added.
“I was comfortable spending the Ksh.3.5 million on her. It
was a good proposal.”
He reaffirmed his previous statements and maintained his
innocence in Sharon's murder.
Sharon’s lifeless
body was found in Kodhiero
Forest in Homa
Bay County, on September 4th,
2018, just a day
after she was reported missing.
