“I warn you Ruto, and I want you to listen to me very clearly. I have been warning you but you are taking it as a pike and this is the last warning Release Patrick Nyambaka Osoi and Cop Shakur… Don’t tamper with the cops. We are so many outside there, you don’t know,” said Hon. Mosquito.
“We as the forces, we are tired and we will light for our own people. We are not GenZs to threaten, we are not civilians. Our ways are different from your way. Release those two comrades with immediate effect if you want peace,” Okindo added.

“Don’t try the fire. Ruto you are going over, and we are not going to tolerate your nonsense…Consult CS Murkomen, DCI and IG with immediate effect to release Patrick and Cop Shakur,” he said.
Following forensic leads, detectives trailed Okindo to his hideout in the Miritini area of Mombasa County, where he was swiftly apprehended.
