Death in Police Custody Sparks Outrage in Kenya: Conflicting Accounts Fuel Investigation

A man, Albert Omollo Ojwang, died in police custody in Kenya. The incident sparked controversy due to conflicting reports surrounding his death. Police initially claimed he hit his head on a wall, but the Inspector General later stated he was found unconscious and taken to Mbagathi Hospital. This raised questions about which hospital was closer to the Central Police Station, implying a potential cover-up. The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) is investigating. The video shows a press conference where police officials discuss the incident. One official stated, "Given the circumstances surrounding the incident, it was necessary to investigate the death in accordance with regulations governing death in police custody." The IPOA's investigation will determine the truth and ensure accountability.
