Popular Ohangla musician, Otieno Aloka was arrested on Friday in Kisumu by DCI detectives after releasing a song that was considered to have lewd lyrics and degraded women and supported pedophilia.
The moral chief and Kenya Film Classification Chief Executive Officer Ezekiel Mutua, as well as Kisumu Woman Rep Rozah Buyu, called for the arrested of “Kanungo” hitmaker as they termed the song as that polluting minds of children.
“I will not sit back and watch as an irresponsible musician [destroy] our children with dirty lyrics. I will take action against him and ensure that the song is not played anywhere,” said the Kisumu Woman Representative.
According to Buyu songs don’t have to be dirty or disrespectful to women for them to attract attention.
Mutua said the board received a complaint about Ohangla video that promoted pedophilia and degrades women through vulgar lyrics.
In the video that went viral Otieno Aloka is seen singing alongside two female dancers, two pianists, a drummer, and a background vocalist.
In his song, Otieno refers to women as prostitutes that are out to lure older men. He goes ahead to say younger ladies are so eager to have sex but the society has denied.
Otieno further stated how most ladies look for older men begging them to seduce them and solicit them for sex so long as they have protection.

In the song, the Luo musician uses vulgar languages to name women’s body parts. Some of the body parts include their privates, pubic hair, and bottom.
The musician has so far apologized to the public following the backlash, saying the song was not meant for public consumption but was a special request from a client from Germany.
“I never meant to disrespect women and they are the people I want to sincerely apologize to. This song was for a client,” said Aloka.
Aloka has so far been arrested and is expected to be arraigned in court.
