Kenya: Albert Ojwang Autopsy Today As IG Kanja Tours Central Police Station

Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi shared this post on his Instagram account: Albert Ojwang has been silenced forever by Ruto’s regime. Just a month ago, he was overjoyed after becoming a father. Albert was a teacher who was using his social media platforms to fight for a better Kenya. DCI officers picked him up from his house in Homa Bay and then drove more than 350 km away to Nairobi, where they ended up murdering him inside a cold holding cell at the Central Police Station. And what crime did he commit to deserve being killed? He is alleged to have accused Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Langat of collecting bribes amounting to Ksh 100 million every month. We all know that's possible because the Kenya Police force is one of the most corrupt institutions in Kenya. Every day, young people are arrested for loitering, vagrancy, touting, being drunk and disorderly, smoking bhang, not carrying an ID, or even just daring to breathe in the presence of extortionist cops. They are then forced to pay bribes at police stations to secure their freedom, with those who fail to pay appearing in court on trumped-up charges. The money collected from them is shared among police officers and their seniors. If Langat is collecting that kind of money, those bribes must be reaching his boss, Kanja, and their godfather, Mr Ruto. Ruto is the king of ruin - he would rather burn Kenya to the ground and rule over the ashes. We shall not allow one sociopath to destroy the country so that he can he feel warm. We shall protect and defend Kenya from a murderous, greedy president who doesn't respect the rule of law or even the taxpayers who pay his fat salary. #endpolicebrutality #justiceforalbertojwang #justice4albertojwang #rutomustgo #NeverForgetKE #fagiawote #mwanzompya #justice4ourmashujaaz

Nairobi — A postmortem on Albert Ojwang, who died under unclear circumstances in police custody, will be conducted on June 9 at City Mortuary.

Inspector General Douglas Kanja and Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) Chairperson Issack Hassan are expected at Central Police Station, with a media briefing to follow.

"The Inspector General will be at Central Police today at 10am alongside the Chairman of the IPOA...,followed by the possibility of the Inspector General visiting the City Mortuary to view the body of the deceased, who died under mysterious circumstances while in police custody," read a media invite.

Ojwang's family and lawyers will address the press thereafter after the autopsy.

Ojwang, arrested over alleged false publication, died last week with police claiming he hit his head in a cell.

Several officers who were on duty at the Nairobi Central Police Station on the night Ojwang died have since been interdicted pending investigation.
