There was drama at the rural home of the late Justice James Aggrey Otieno Odek after his relatives forced their way into his main house on Thursday.
A disagreement arose after some of his relatives and clansmen demanded that his house at Memba village in Rarieda, Siaya County, be opened for them to meet and plan his burial.
One of the caretakers in charge of the house had declined to give out the keys to the main house since the judge’s wife had ordered it locked.
The caretaker was reportedly under firm instructions not to let any mourners in.
After a scuffle and a bitter exchange of words between the villagers and the workers, that lasted about 20 minutes, the relatives forced their way into the house located between two others that belong to the judge’s sons.
They then settled down and held the meeting with the door open.
