A senior ODM official from Migori County claims that embattled county boss spends most of his time alone in court at times crying or talking to himself.
Mr. Obado was arrested in September 21st over the death of his girlfriend Sharon Otieno, who will be buried on Friday.
And according to the officer who spoke in confidence, Mr. Obado is under surveillance of prison officers who fear for his life in cells.
"He is under depression and sometimes cries loudly in cells. This scares warders who are now closely guarding him to curb any suicide attempt.
"At times, he talks to himself a sign of depression. I am even told that when family members visit and leave, he's left at an awkward position since he cries a lot."
The claims could not be independently established but it is understood that Mr. Obado is under special meals after he was taken ill at Kenyatta National Hospital.
With just a week for him to know his bail application fate, his lawyer, Cliff Ombeta insisted that the prosecution has not tabled sufficient evidence to show cause why he should not be released.
"They have struggled to link him to the murder leave alone giving sufficient evidence. He's must be released on bail because that's his right."
Although Obado admits being lovers with Sharon, he has however denied executing her in cold blood.
