Oscar Sudi surrenders to police after 48-hour dramatic search
Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi waves at a crowd that had gathered at Langas Police Station in Uasin Gishu County, where he presented himself on September 13, 2020.
According to police reports, seven people were arrested during the raid, including three officers working with the Presidential Escort Unit.
Uasin Gishu police boss Johnston Ipara said Mr Sudi's allies helped “fish” him from his hideouts, but the officer could not explain how the MP managed to hide in suspected plain-sight.
Even though they are yet to establish where the legislator was hiding, Mr Ipara said, police suspect he was in Nandi County.
The 48-hour dramatic search for controversial Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi ended theatrically Sunday morning when he presented himself to police in Eldoret before he was transferred to cool his heels in a Nakuru cell.
The lawmaker, who inexplicably escaped police dragnet at his Kapseret home on Friday night, strolled into Langas Police Station, Eldoret, accompanied by his lawyer Gladys Shollei, the Uasin Gishu woman rep, and other lawmakers; catching officers at the report office by surprise.
