Ohangla musician claims his sex hit song is putting his life in danger

A renowned Ohangla musician in Nyanza is worried that his opponents want to harm him after he produced a song that focuses on how women frustrate their husbands when they need conjugal rights.

Godwin Ochieng Jack known by his stage name as Othicho ja Suba, claims there are people who want to harm him due to “jealousy”.

He attributes the envy to his new song titled Okumbo (elbow). The song describes how women use their elbows to deter their husbands from accessing them for sex when they are in bed.

Othicho claims he was abducted on February 11 when a man asked him for a lift in his car in Rodi Kopany Township in Homa Bay County.

Othicho who was driving to Homa Bay town stopped and gave the man the lift at around 7:30pm. 

After driving for about a kilometre, the stranger requested to alight near Sero Vocational Training Centre to go for a short call. 

But when he alighted, a group of three men entered his car, took the key and ordered him out.

“I was driving from Ndhiwa where I had gone to visit my grandmother. But the man approached me and asked for a lift and I allowed him in. Little did I know that he had ulterior motives,” Othicho said.

The men ordered Othicho to alight and board a different vehicle. The men sandwiched him and drove him up to Asego Hill in the outskirts of Homa Bay town.

They finally ordered him to alight before trekking with him to the hill top where they tied his legs with a rope on a tree. The abductors abandoned him and left.

“After more than an hour, I attempted to stand up but I fell in a small cave. The impact of my weight cut the rope from the tree where it was tied,” Othicho explained.

He scrawled for about 100 metres before calling friends informing them about his ordeal. 

“I was lucky that they did not snatch my phone. After sitting in the cave, I began posting my ordeal both on social media and making phone calls,” he said.

His friends sought the support of officers from Homa Bay Police Station who went and rescued him. His car was also found about one kilometre from where he had been abandoned. 

Othicho attributed the ordeal to jealousy of musicians who do not want him to prosper.

“The incident occurred after I produced a new song titled Okumbo, which has earned me huge social media following,” he claimed.

Homa Bay Sub-county Police Commander Emmanuel Kiplagat says detectives are probing the matter.

“He reported the matter to us and we are investigating it,” Kiplagat said.
