DCI detectives on Wednesday arrested Migori Governor Okoth Obado in Nairobi.

Obado was arrested after EACC detectives found eight guns in his home while searching for evidence in a corruption case.

Five of the firearms were recovered in Nairobi while sources within EACC said they recovered another three in Migori.

He has since been moved to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters along Kiambu Road, where is currently being interrogated.

The EACC detectives had on Tuesday conducted a raid at the Governor's office and three homes as they probed alleged questionable tenders totalling over Sh2 billion.

The matter was later taken up by Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti who said the firearms would be subjected to ballistic examinations and verification of certificates at the Central Firearms Bureau (CFB).
