“It is true that Franciscan Sisters of St Joseph Asumbi is under my diocese and this is the mother diocese for Sister Sika, but once sisters are posted to serve in a different territory, their issues are handled within that territory, so I advise that you visit Kisumu Diocese,” said Anyolo.
The Kisumu archdiocese is under Archbishop Zacchaeus Okoth who was among the top church leadership to view the body of Fr Oduor at the morgue.
Fr Oduor and Archbishop Okoth were said to be close and that Fr Oduor had reportedly disclosed to His Grace the Archbishop that his life was in danger and his fellow member of the clergy in Kisumu were well aware of the delicate issues that bothered him.
Reached for comment by The Nairobian, Archbishop Okoth refused to comment on the matter.
Nyanza Regional DCI Officer Geofrey Kathurima, confirmed that Sister Sika recorded a statement to help police with investigations and that, “We are trying to follow leads to unravel the mysterious murder.
From the observation of the body, it looks like the man was attacked by a gang whose primary motive was to kill him.”
Father Oduor was born on August 18, 1982 at Sigomere village in Ugenya, Siaya County, as the sixth born in a family of 10 siblings. He attended his primary school in Nanyuki before proceeding to Sigomere Secondary School between 1997 and 2000.
He joined the Nyeri Seminary in the seven years to 2009 and was ordained as a priest in May 2011 and posted to the Milimani Parish in Kisumu, where he served for six months before being transferred to Ahero. In July this year, he was transferred to head Nyabondo Parish.
