Ochieng a boda boda rider failed to part with Sh10,000 fine after he broke traffic rules and when he asked whose burial was taking place everyone started running away and avoiding him.
His brother Eric Omondi said that he courageously decided to go and have word with him in order to know what was taking place.
“But it took us over 30 minutes to find the courage to face the mysterious man and when I heard the side of his story I was equally perturbed,” Omondi said.
A day after he disappeared his family then filed a missing person report little did they know that he had been arrested by police officers in Rangwe.
He spent the weekend in a police cell and was arraigned in a Homabay court the following Monday where he was charged with the offence.
