Content creator and media personality Oga Obinna has alleged that President William Ruto personally stepped in to stop a group that allegedly planned to harm him shortly after his interview with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Speaking on his show, Obinna detailed a series of warnings, anonymous calls, and behind-the-scenes revelations that led him to believe he had narrowly avoided danger. According to Obinna, an external source who was reportedly present with the President told him the Head of State had intervened on his behalf.
“The person who stopped them was the president,” Obinna said. “I was told by a very credible person… the same words the president used: ‘Let’s leave that young man. What exactly are we doing? Nobody should touch him.’”
Obinna explained that this revelation came about a month after recording the interview, during a meeting with another individual he described as having “deep state” connections. Prior to this, he received a surprising call from a prominent local media figure he had never interacted with, warning him about a “rogue unit” that had allegedly taken an interest in him.
“I’ve been told by credible sources, just be careful,” the caller allegedly said. “Reduce your movements… yesterday were you at such and such a place?” Obinna said he was shocked by the caller’s knowledge of his movements.
He further revealed that the deep-state source told him he was “one phone call away” from serious harm. “There was a unit that wanted to do this… and I heard number one say, ‘If we start fighting small boys, what are we doing? He didn’t do anything wrong.’ If he did not say that, you and I were one phone call away from…”
Obinna used the experience to urge his audience to practice gratitude, self-care, and courage in speaking out against injustice. He cited recent incidents of violence, including a young woman killed by a stray bullet, as reminders of the fragility of life.
“Sometimes you might just be minding your business and something happens,” he said. “So live every day like it’s your last… If something is wrong, let’s talk about it.”
He also highlighted the importance of continuing discussions on police brutality, accountability, and social justice, stressing that content creators often face delayed recognition but can influence public conversation as more people engage with their work.
Oga Obinna’s revelations have sparked debate about the risks faced by media personalities and the role of state actors in protecting citizens within politically sensitive contexts.
