Oga Obinna’s dedication to personal security has drawn significant attention — not just for his own safety, but for the visibility his team is now receiving. During a recent visit to Wamunyoro in the Mt. Kenya region, Obinna introduced his security team while on an interview tour, and the presence of his head of security made a lasting impression.
Leading the security detail is Vicker Munez, a well-known figure among Obinna’s followers. Munez has become a regular feature on the weekly Obinna TV YouTube-live sessions, always remaining alert and ready to protect his boss at any moment. His presence is reassuring to many fans, and his discipline and professionalism haven’t gone unnoticed.
During the recent visit to Wamunyoro, the physical presence and composure of Munez stood out — so much so that he caught the attention of the former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua. In a video shared on social media, Gachagua was seen expressing admiration for the size and structure of Obinna’s media team, joking that it rivaled that of many TV stations. He even went as far as to say he would like to have someone like Munez on his own security team, highlighting the bodyguard’s impressive build and demeanor.
Obinna himself lightened the moment by joking that Gachagua might indeed need someone like Munez, referencing the recent scuffle at the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) event. The good-natured exchange ended with smiles and a memorable photo taken of Munez, Obinna, and Gachagua after the interview.
Later, Munez took to his social media to share the moment, posting a photo with a motivational caption that resonated with many of his followers: “I can’t afford to give up, I don’t have a backup, I am the backup. Always work smart.” His words struck a chord, sparking a wave of positive comments from fans encouraging him to stay focused and continue growing his brand.
Among the reactions were followers applauding his dedication and advising him to leverage his growing visibility. One user pointed out that had he started building his social media presence earlier, his account would have been massive by now. Others offered blessings and encouragement, reinforcing the value of hard work and resilience.
Meanwhile, rumors had been swirling that Oga Obinna had left the country following the Gachagua interview, citing safety concerns and fear of abduction. These claims gained traction after the tragic murder of Father John Maina, a priest who had also recently hosted Gachagua at his parish. The incident, which occurred just weeks after the visit, raised alarms and added to public unease, especially after investigations suggested the priest may have been targeted and dumped after the attack.
Despite the speculation, Obinna publicly refuted the claims that he had fled, reassuring his audience that he remained committed to his work and undeterred by the noise. The speculation has only added to the tense atmosphere following controversial interviews and political shifts in the country.
Still, the show of strength, unity, and preparedness from Obinna’s team — particularly Munez — has inspired many. Their discipline and focus remain a talking point, with their recent high-profile outing symbolizing the growing intersection between media, security, and influence in Kenya’s public sphere.
