In a letter addressed to Musingu School, Wabilianga Majani & Associates, representing Omondi's parents, articulated concerns regarding the irregularities surrounding the student's relocation.
"We are aware that the said minor was admitted as a student at St. Mary's Yala with the scholarship of Michael Olunga Football Association (MOFA). We are informed that your football coach together with the village coach went to St. Mary's Yala and lied to the administration...and thus abducted him," the letter states.
