Raila Odinga's Bodyguard Maurice Ogeta Sheds Tears During Prayer Session With Family In Rarieda

• Raila Odinga's bodyguard Maurice Ogeta had a week ago been reported missing after he was allegedly arrested by unknown people
• His family came out to ask for his whereabouts while threatening to sue the government should they not produce his brother
• However, the bodyguard resurfaced and a video shared on TikTok displayed him shedding tears while being held by his brothers during prayers

Rarieda- Opposition leader Raila Odinga's bodyguard Maurice Ogeta was given a heroic welcome by his family and village mates at his rural home.

The bodyguard had a week ago been reportedly abducted for days as Azimio launched an appeal to find his whereabouts.

He, however, was released a few days later where he shared that those who arrested him wanted to know where Raila was and what his route was for the next demonstrations.

During the period he went missing, his family threatened to sue the state for arresting his brother and declining to reveal his whereabouts.

His brother at one point issued a 48 hours timeline before the family could pursue the next cause of action against the people who arrested his brother.

Raila Odinga's bodyguard reunites with family

However, in a TikTok video shared by @Lewisooooooh, Maurice could be seen shedding tears as his brother and other family member held him during prayers organised by his kin.

He was in an all black outfit and his signature black shades and looked vulnerable as he was held during the prayers.

At one point, he excused his hand that was holding onto his brother to get his handkerchief to wipe off the tears in his face.

"We are going to pray for this family. The whole family of Ogeta," said the MC.
