How Oguda was abducted
On Tuesday morning, June 25, 2024, National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi, reported that Oguda, an analyst at his office, had called him in the wee hours to tell him that police had broken into his property.
According to Wandayi, no sooner had Oguda called him than his phone was jammed, and was unable to make calls until 6:30 am on Tuesday.
At that moment, Wandayi said he could not confirm whether the people who abducted Oguda were police officers.
“Oguda called me to inform me that there were people at his gate who were breaking into his compound. I mobilised lawyers to attend to his situation but within no minute my phone calls were jammed and I was unable to call or receive calls until 6.30 am this morning,” Wandayi said.
