“Thanks, my son, for making this clarification. God is in control, and all will be well,” stated Domnic Akugo.

The incident also sparked debate on social media, with some users speculating about what may have caused the crash, including speeding.

However, no official report has been released to confirm the cause of the crash, and authorities are yet to state the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Following this murder, Obado and two co-accused were convicted of arranging the killing.

According to the court, he supplied motive, instigation and funds to finance the criminal enterprise while former personal assistant Michael Oyamo facilitated execution and former county clerk Caspal Obiero ensured logistical support and concealment to avoid detection of the offence.

However, the three are yet to face sentencing but are under police custody.
