GSU Officer Embroiled in Tuju Divorce Case Charged

Last week we told you about how former Cabinet Minister and media guru Raphael Tuju had filed for a divorce at the High Court and even offered Ksh200,000 alimony. Well, the same week saw the GSU officer alleged to have a fling with Tuju’s wife charged in court.

The officer Sammy Oguda was charged with improper use of telecommunication equipment after the police claimed that he called Tuju on his cell and told him, “I am going to strike you”. Tuju had filed a complaint against his wife’s lover for the “annoying utterances”.

The telephone call was allegedly made on February 8 with intent to cause annoyance to Tuju. The prosecution also alleged that the words uttered by Ogunda were grossly offensive and annoying to Tuju.

However, Ogunda’s lawyer Cliff Ombeta protested the charges arguing that the police were under pressure from Tuju to ensure that Ogunda was denied bail. The police on their part applied to have Ogunda remanded in custody for three days to complete investigations but the magistrate rejected the application and released him on a cash bail of KSh100,000.
