One of ODM party leader Raila Odinga’s bodyguards George Oduor, is dead.
He died at a city hospital on Wednesday April 2 evening.
A family friend said he had been unwell for more than a week and was admitted to ICU before he died.
His friends took to social media to mourn him. They described him as a responsible and respectful bodyguard.
He was seen as one of the most loyal bodyguards and aide.
The cause of the death is yet to be disclosed.
Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai mourned Oduor as a mentor.
“Rest In peace my brother. I will miss your wise counsel and guidance,” Alai said in a post on X.
“You were more than an aide to Baba. You offered to us brotherly advice and sought to mentor us.”
ODM director of communications Philip Etale expressed disbelief over the news.
“This is one man who stood by me at all cost. I have lost a friend. Big bro. Rest easy George. Wah!”
He grew up in Kaloleni, Nairobi.
Oduor had served Raila’s father Jaramogi Odinga before he switched to the ODM leader after his death in 1994.
