Raila Dispels Illness Rumors after Worrying Video Emerges Online [Video]

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has assured Kenyans that he's well and in good health after a worrying video emerged online on Sunday evening.

Odinga was attending SportPesa Super Cup final match between Kenyan sides Kariobangi Sharks and Bandari FC at Tanzania's national stadium in Dar es Salaam when the video was captured.

In the video that has gone viral on social media, Odinga's aides are seen hurriedly taking him out of the stadium.

Odinga poses with the winning team, Kariobangi Sharks, but shortly after, he appears to stumble and is quickly taken out of the arena by two of his bodyguards.

“Dear Kenyans and friends from around the globe, I am well and in Good health. Thank you for your concern," Odinga says in a tweet on Sunday night.

In a statement, Odinga’s spokesperson Dennis Onyango says the ODM leader was taken out after the podium began to fall off.

“H.E Raila Odinga is fine in Dar. Images of security people holding him emerged from a step on the podium that was falling off and not anything to do with health. Thanks to everyone who has expressed concern,” says Onyango.
