Obado’s bodyguard arrested

Detectives have arrested Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s bodyguard John Chacha Nyamohanga aka Mwita Moses Mogaya for allegedly securing employment by use of fake academic papers.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commision says his academic certificates belong to another officer.

The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji gave a warrant of arrest and a go-ahead to begin criminal proceedings against the suspect with the unlawful act of personation of another individual named in a certificate, saying “the offence is contrary to Section 384 of the Penal Code.”

Chacha has been working as an administration Police constable in Migori county as a bodyguard attached to Migori Governor Okoth Obado.

His arrest comes in the wake of a heightened crackdown against rogue officials and an ongoing murder investigation into Governor Obado's connection to slain Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
