An SSS source however told The Cable that Obua had merely fainted and was now in stable condition.
The former CSO reportedly embarked on a hunger strike to protest the conditions of his detention and passed out as a result.
The SSS is yet to issue an official statement on why Obua was arrested on July 16, and for what reasons he is still being held.
