Confirming the demise, his close friend and SJAK vice-president James Magayi said:
“We went there (LG offices) to have a meeting to plan about our awards and CSR activities. He (Oduor) is the last person I spoke to and we made some banter about his beard; I remember telling him that he needed to trim them…it is a sad morning and painful that bhe is no more,” mourned Magayi.
Magayi added: “Their offices were evacuated at about 6.30pm yesterday. They did a head count and Edu(James Oduor) and some three of his colleagues were missing…One of the evacuates described in detail one of the bodies and from the description I knew straight away that it was Edu .The police confirmed the death early today and his family has been alerted.”
Oduor’s body has been moved to the Chiromo Mortuary.
