Police in Homa Bay have arrested Kassim Abdi Sebo over an alleged assault, months after chaos was reported at a Linda Mwananchi rally in the county in August.

Sebo was arrested at Homa Bay Bus Stage on Thursday night as officers executed a warrant issued by the Homa Bay Law Courts on August 14, 2026.

According to an occurrence book (OB) report, the warrant relates to an alleged offence of assault causing actual bodily harm, contrary to Section 251 of the Penal Code.

Police described Sebo as a “chief goon”, although the allegation relating to the warrant remains a matter for the court.

Police Arrest Seven Men During Operation

Officers from Homa Bay Police Station and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Homa Bay Sub-County conducted the arrest under the command of County Police Commander Lawrence Koilem.

Police also arrested seven men accused of obstructing officers during the operation.

The seven suspects are Achiando Victor Odhiambo, 26; Isaac Masika Muliro, 30; Oyege Moses Geoffrey, 27; Geoffrey Njore, 25; Odhiambo Wesley Arnold, 26; Joseph Kobila, 28; and Alfred Nyagiro Aliwa, 26.

Their arrests followed the operation to apprehend Sebo at the bus stage.

Eight Suspects Held Pending Court Appearance

Sebo and the seven other men are being held in custody pending arraignment in court.

The alleged assault case is linked to a warrant issued on August 14, 2026, while the seven men face accusations of obstructing police officers during Sebo’s arrest.

The suspects are yet to answer to the allegations in court. The charges and evidence against them will be subject to the legal process.
