Today is Fidel Odinga’s Fifth Anniversary of His Death

By Jakowiti Atwech 

Today marked the fifth death anniversary of Fidel Odinga with fond memories of him.

Fidel died on the morning of January 4, 2015 in his Karen home after a night out with friends.

Fidel, who kept his family away from the public eye, left behind his Eritrean wife Lwam Gatachew Bekele and a son

Fidel divorced his first wife Veronica Wanjiru over what were viewed as ‘irreconcilable’ differences.

He tied the knot for the second time with his Eritrean lover in a low-key ceremony, which took place at the Orthodox Church in July 28, 2012 in Nairobi.

Unlike his much-publicised 2007 wedding ceremony, which was full of pomp and colour, his second one was a closely guarded and invites-only ceremony.
