Former bodyguard Maurice Ogeta described unusual signs before the death of veteran politician Raila Odinga. Ogeta said he was preparing prayer items and candles when he learned of Odinga’s death, prompting him to seek an explanation. The moment came as a shock, according to Ogeta, who was in the process of organizing a spiritual ritual.
Ogeta also mentioned that he had previously raised concerns about security during 2023 protests. He claimed that Makau Mutua, a political rival, had exposed security plans during a livestream, putting Odinga at risk. Ogeta recalled hiding Odinga during an attack on a Pipeline, highlighting the ongoing threats to the politician’s safety.
Odinga, a longtime political figure, had been a key leader in Kenya’s opposition. His death marked the end of an era for many activists and politicians. Ogeta’s account adds to the growing narrative around the circumstances of Odinga’s passing, though no official cause has been confirmed. The bodyguard’s testimony suggests a complex mix of personal and political tensions leading up to the event.
