Friday, May 23, 2025 - The Rongo
Magistrate Court has allowed the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions
(ODPP)’s application seeking to have four individuals, including two directors
of St. Joseph Mission of Messiah in Africa Limited Church, detained for an
additional 21 days to allow completion of investigations.
The prosecution, through Senior Assistant Director of Public
Prosecutions Ms. Mercelle Ikol and Prosecution Counsel Ms. Juliet Ombogo, filed
the application seeking to have Michael Kus Onyango, Luka Ochieng, Everline
Gemamo, and Lilian Atieno Olal remanded at Kamagambo Police Station while the
police investigate the mysterious death of a GSU officer and confirm compliance
with the Public Health Act.
Prosecuting Counsels Ms. Ikol and Ms. Ombogo informed the
court that investigations are at an advanced stage and that the prosecution
intends to charge the suspects upon completion of the inquiry.
Ms. Ikol further told the court that the ODPP has filed a
separate application seeking orders to exhume the body of a GSU officer, who
was mysteriously buried on 28th March 2025 within the church compound in Rongo
Sub-County, Migori County.
It is alleged that the officer, Police Constable Adan Ayoo,
died under unclear circumstances on 27th March 2025 and was buried without the
knowledge or consent of his parents or employer.
The ODPP is seeking the exhumation to determine the cause of
death through a postmortem at Migori County Referral Hospital.
The matter will be mentioned on 27th May 2025 for exhumation direction, while the case is scheduled for further directions on 12th June 2025.
