Man police linked to Homa Bay chaos surrenders, but is turned away

A man linked to the Homa Bay political unrest has surrendered to authorities, only to be turned away by police at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters. The individual, identified as Oliver Ochieng Jaoko, appeared on Tuesday at the DCI on Kiambu Road, accompanied by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Siaya Governor James Orengo.

However, police informed the group that they were unaware of the matter. The decision was supported by elders from the Gikuyu, Embu, and Meru communities who had convened for consultations on the issue. Ochieng Jaoko, a fourth-year student, is seeking financial assistance to support a one-year-old child. This incident occurred after several community consultations by elders from Embu, Meru, and Tharaka Nithi.
