Update: Raila Odinga's Bodyguard Released After Arrest

ODM leader Raila Odinga's bodyguard Maurice Ogeta has been released. 

The release was confirmed by Azimio leader Raila Odinga as he called for the release of other Opposition leaders who have been arrested.  

According to the former Prime Minister, the whereabouts of Babu Owino remain unknown after he was arrested on Tuesday evening at JKIA. 

ODM party Director of Communications Philip Etale disclosed that people in plainclothes abducted Ogeta on Wednesday morning. 

"Unknown people in plain clothes suspected to be police officers from the DCI have abducted Raila Odinga's bodyguard Maurice Ogeta while driving to work bundled him in the car boot and driven away with him to an unknown destination. His whereabouts remain unknown," Etale tweeted.

According to Etale, Raila's spokesman Dennis Onyango was also arrested by police officers. 

"Police have a few minutes ago raided the house of Raila Odinga's spokesman Dennis Onyango, along Mbagathi Way ransacked it, and arrested him. His son says they have driven off with him in two Subaru vehicles," Etale tweeted.

A police source aware of the developments said there were plans to arrest Raila's close associates to tame the protests.

The Azimio leader had called for mass protests on Wednesday in a show of revolt against President William Ruto.

The protests, he said, will last for three days beginning Wednesday to Friday.

The alleged abduction come days after the security detail of ODM leader Raila Odinga and other Azimio leaders were withdrawn over the planned protests.

President William Ruto had vowed to thwart any attempt to hold protests in the country.
