Reports indicate that Opiyo died at his residence in Umoja Estate. Sources associated with Lamb Ministers confirmed the development and described him as a fellow minister and brother in Christ.
Authorities have not disclosed the cause of death. Reports further indicate that officials moved his body to Mama Lucy Hospital Mortuary.
Case Drew National Attention
Opiyo had faced allegations of organising an acid attack against Mary Clare Ochieng following the breakdown of their relationship.
The attack left the gospel singer with severe burns and serious eye injuries, triggering widespread public outrage and renewed calls for justice.
Investigators later arrested Opiyo and other suspects linked to the incident, and the case continued before the courts after he secured bail.
Questions Over Ongoing Proceedings
Court proceedings in the matter had not concluded by the time reports of his death emerged.
The development has generated mixed reactions online, with some Kenyans expressing sympathy for his family while others questioned how the reported death could affect the ongoing criminal case involving the other accused persons.
No Official Confirmation Yet
As of publication, the National Police Service and other relevant authorities had not issued an official statement confirming Opiyo’s death or providing further details about the circumstances surrounding it.
The matter therefore remains based on reports from sources close to the ministry and other individuals familiar with the case.
