Thursday, October 24, 2024 –Siaya Governor James Orengo has mourned the brutal killing of Wells Fargo Human Resource Officer Willis Ayieko.
In a statement he shared with the public on Thursday October 24, Orengo described the events as saddening saying the late was his friend who worked hard for himself and the family.
“I am extremely shocked and saddened by the abduction, brutal and senseless murder of Willis Ayieko, a great son of Siaya and a Kenyan patriot. A gentleman par excellence. A good man. To his beloved wife and children, my friends Aggrey Onyango, Edwin Ng’ong’a and the family, I pray that the Almighty gives you the strength and fortitude to bear this most tragic loss. When will the abductions stop and assassinations end?”
Fresh details have also emerged on the death as the deceased brother opened up on how they found his body in a bad shape.
Ayieko’s tragic fate was confirmed on Wednesday, October 23, several days after he went missing after attending a burial in the North Gem location.
“We went with my brothers to look for him. We wanted to see the last place where the vehicle was stopped,” he said, adding that Ayieko did not have most of his clothes.
Days after he went missing, his car – a Ford Ranger – was discovered abandoned on Tuesday, October 22 in Sabatia, Vihiga County.
Ayieko’s brother further debunked reports that the murder was a case of a robbery gone wrong, adding that the deceased’s body was severely mutilated, indicating a possible vendetta against the Human Resource Manager.
