6 KWS officers arraigned over disappearance of Brian Odhiambo
Six Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers have been arraigned in court over the disappearance of Brian Odhiambo.
Brian Odhiambo, a Nakuru fisherman, went missing on January 18, 2025, at the hands of KWS officials at the Lake Nakuru National Park.
The Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) confirmed the arraignment of the four officials on Monday, May 5, 2025, namely; Francis Wachira, Alexander Lorogoi, Isaac Ochieng Odhiambo, Michael Wabukala, Evans Kimaiyo, and Abdulrahaman Ali Sudi
“The DPP would like to inform the general public that Six (6) Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers namely: Francis Wachira, Alexander Lorogoi, Isaac Ochieng Odhiambo, Michael Wabukala, Evans Kimaiyo, and Abdulrahaman Ali Sudi were today arraigned at the Nakuru Law Courts,” the DPP stated.
The DPP says the officers have been charged with the offence of abduction with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine him on January 18, 2025, at around 10:00 am in Bondeni, Nakuru East Sub-County.
The DPP opposed the release of the officers on bond pending trial.
The ruling will be delivered on May 12, 2025. In the meantime, the officers have been remanded at Nakuru GK Prison.
“The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) remains committed to executing its constitutional mandates in accordance with the Rule of Law, Public Interest and the administration of justice,” DPP stated.
Murkomen’s promise
On March 19, 2025, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen promised that the government would help find Brian Odhiambo, who has been missing for months now.
“As a government, we will not allow a situation where a Kenyan goes missing without being accounted for. We are here to ensure lives are protected,” Murkomen said.
To date, the promise has seemingly remained a promise, with no much fruit coming forth.
