Former Ramogi FM Radio Manager Charles Odhiambo is reportedly unconscious and fighting for his life after allegedly being attacked by a group of unknown assailants.
Unverified reports suggest that the attack was orchestrated by individuals linked to the spouse of Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga.
According to controversial bloggers Maverick Aoko and Ja Loka, Odhiambo, who transitioned from media to politics, was allegedly targeted due to personal grievances from Gladys Wanga’s husband.

Appearing to back blogger Maverick Aoko’s claims, Ja Loka one of the influential figures on X termed the incident unfortunate. Ja Loka said that Odhiambo is currently in the ICU bed fighting for his life after Gladys Wanga’s husband reportedly sent goons to beat him.
It is alleged that Odhiambo was caught in bed red-handed by Wanga’s husband.
