In a candid interview on NTV, Oduor shared how she was jailed for 10 years, and while there, he got a culture shock that shakes him to this day.

How did Oduor get money to send?

The man tickled many when he said that people actually used to send him money through the money scams that prisoners conduct.

While some people heard that, they shared that maybe it was karma for the way he made money by exploiting innocent people while in prison.

"I realised being in jail means a woman distancing herself from you, or being in locked up means a woman being abandoned by her man," he said.

How did society treat Oduor?

According to Oduor, his wife was not the only person who did not want anything to do with him, as there were many people in the estate where he lives who accused him of stealing even before he stole anything.

There are those who gossiped about him, while others outrightly asked him about his jail term and then didn't want anything to do with him anymore.
