DNA Reveals Migori Governor Okoth Obado Fathered Slain University Student Sharon Otieno's Unborn Child

DNA tests carried out on Migori Governor Okoth Obado have confirmed that he indeed fathered slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno’s unborn baby.

As a result, the Governor has been summoned to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) offices to record a fresh statement over the murder of the 26-year-old student alongside his wife - Hellen, Daily Nation reports

"There are 99.99+% more chances that Zacharia Okoth Obado is the biological father of the donor of the DNA generated from the foetus that is Sharon Otieno’s child,” the DNA statement reads as quoted by Daily Nation.

The lifeless body of Sharon was found in a thicket near Kodera Forest in Homa Bay on September 4th, two days after she was abducted from a hotel in Rongo town alongside Daily Nation journalist Barrack Oduor. 

The reporter managed to escape from the kidnappers after he jumped out of a moving vehicle a few kilometers from Rongo.

Sharon is said to have been in a love affair with Obado, claims that the Obado has since confirmed while denying having anything to do with her murder.

“As a law abiding citizen, I want to state here very clearly that I have nothing… and absolutely nothing… to do with the cruel death of Sharon,” stated the embattled Governor during a press address last Wednesday.

An autopsy report revealed Sharon was stabbed eight times and succumbed to excessive bleeding.

Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor who carried out the postmortem examination also said the seven-month-old foetus that was in Sharon's womb had stab wounds inflicted during the attack.

Emotions ran high during the burial of the unborn baby in Homa Bay last Friday even as the family maintains it will not bury Sharon until her killers are arrested.

So far, police have arrested four suspects in connection to her murder including Michael Oyamo, the personal assistant to Migori Governor Okoth Obado and former Member of Homa Bay County Assembly (MCA) Lawrence Mula
