Three Arrested Over Attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi at Java House

Date:

KISUMU, Kenya- Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kisumu County have arrested three suspects in connection with the attack on Vihiga Senator Hon. Godfrey Osotsi at Java House, West End Mall.

The suspects, identified as Carlos Owiti alias Kalonje (24) from Nyalenda, Eric Otieno alias Dude (39) from Manyatta, and Vincent Odhiambo alias Tinga (27) from Nyalenda, are currently in police custody and are being processed for arraignment in court.

Investigations have been intensified, with detectives actively pursuing additional suspects linked to the incident.

The DCI thanked members of the public who have provided information to aid the ongoing investigations and urged continued cooperation as detectives work to bring all perpetrators to justice.

Authorities have promised further updates as the investigations progress.

ODM Leader Oburu Oginga is among the leaders who have condemned the attack.

“The incident that occurred is not only unfortunate but utterly unacceptable in a civilized, democratic society. We must be clear: Violence has no place in our political discourse. Differences in opinion, ideology, or political affiliation should never be settled through physical confrontation or intimidation,” he said in a statement.
