Content creator Oga Obinna has come out to seek intervention from relevant security apparatus after learning that his life is in danger.
The comedian has disclosed that a section of leaders in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party have hatched a plan to harm him as he attends the burial of the late party’s leader Raila Odinga scheduled for Sunday, October 19, 2025, at his Opoda Farm, in Bondo.
Taking to social media on the night of Saturday, October 18, the comedian alleged that some leaders from ODM have hired goons to attack him during Raila Odinga’s burial.
He noted that he does not advocate for violence and that he’s ready to have talks with whoever holds alternative political opinions from his.
In an official statement from his Obinna TV Studios posted online and sighted by this writer, the comic called on his ‘enemies’ plotting mayhem against him to observe peace and understanding whole the country solemnly honours Raila’s burial.

“Obinna TV Studios has come to learn that certain leaders within ODM have paid goons to harm Oga Obinna as he attends the burial of the late Honourable Raila Amollo Odinga in Bondo this Sunday.
Oga Obinna has always condemned all forms of violence in the strongest terms.
He stands for dialogues, understanding and accomodation of different political opinions.
We call for peace and understanding whole honouring this solemn event,” the statement read in part.
Obinna went on to call on the Kenya Police Service and the DCI to investigate his claims, bolster security during Raila’s burial and protect him and others involved in the equation.
“We urge the Kenya Police Service and DCI to heighten vigilance, bolster security and investigate these threats promptly to protect all involved.
Let us commemorate Honourable Odinga peacefully.
Erokamani,” the statement read.
Babu Owino For ODM Party Leader
The latest turn of events unfolded barely 72 hours after Obinna requested ODM leadership to consider Embakasi East MP Babu Owino for the party leader’s spot.
As earlier reported by Nairobi News, Obinna offered unsolicited yet pointed advice to ODM’s leadership on how to move forward in the wake of Raila’s passing.
With a keen focus on Nairobi County politics, the comedian urged the party to unconditionally hand Babu Owino the ODM ticket for the 2027 Nairobi gubernatorial race, saying that would be the only way for the party to remain politically relevant.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, Obinna insisted that denying Babu Owino the ticket would be a monumental blunder.
He argued that such a move would alienate the Gen Z constituency, which, according to him, overwhelmingly identifies with the youthful legislator.

He went on to outline a second strategy that, in his view, could help ODM maintain its massive following and ultimately reclaim power.
He cautioned that ODM risked internal wrangles and unnecessary tension if it failed to appoint Babu Owino as the new party leader to take over after Raila Odinga.
According to Obinna, while ODM boasts several reputable politicians capable of filling the leadership void, the party needs someone with both “the favour of the people” and “the anointing”, qualities he said Babu Owino possesses in abundance.
His unsolicited advice seems to have ruffled a few feathers at the helm of ODM’s leadership.
