A bodyguard attached to Principal Secretary for Youth Affairs Fikirini Jacobs has been detained as probe into the shooting of youth mobiliser Cecil Ouma continues.

Sources privy to the investigations said the officer was inside the vehicle by the time of Ouma’s shooting on June 30, 2026 after an event at Karikor social hall.

“We have detained him as the investigations continues but it does not mean he is guilty, we may also present him in court for miscellaneous applications to seek for more time to complete investigations.”
