The death of Kenyan blogger Albert Ojwang while in police custody has led to widespread protests and demands for accountability, particularly aimed at deputy police chief Eliud Lagat. After Ojwang was arrested for accusations of corruption against Lagat, he was transported to Nairobi, where he was later found dead under suspicious circumstances. An autopsy revealed evidence of assault rather than self-harm, triggering public outrage and a call for investigations into police actions. The Kenyan government has pledged to address these concerns, emphasizing the need for reform.
Ojwang's death, attributed to assault rather than a self-inflicted incident, raises alarm over police conduct and public safety, igniting calls for accountability.
President Ruto's vow to protect citizens from 'rogue police officers' underscores the urgent need for reform within the security forces and justice system.
