Police in Homa Bay are investigating the abduction of Daily Nation reporter Barack Oduor on Monday night.
Oduor, who sustained bruises on his limbs after jumping out of a moving car, was treated at Aga Khan hospital in Kisumu and discharged.
At the time of his abduction, the reporter was in the company of a woman, only identified as Sharon.
The incident was reported at Kendu Bay police station. The whereabouts of the woman is unknown.
Oduor went to meet Michael Oyamo, Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s personal assistant at Rodi Kopany, Homa Bay county before the venue was changed to Rongo.
He would be bundled into a car which instead of heading to Rongo, sped off towards Kisumu.
While on the way, the ‘abductors’ started torturing Oduor and the woman as they drove towards Kisumu.
The journalist said one of the men held him by the neck in an attempt to strangle him.
He fought the men, opened the door and jumped out of the speeding car at Nyangweso market.
