Officers were also seen patrolling major streets across the city, bracing for possible demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ojwang\u2019s murder has reignited nationwide outrage over police brutality and renewed calls for deep-rooted reforms and accountability in the security sector, particularly as Kenya enters another politically sensitive period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A secondary school teacher and outspoken social media commentator, Ojwang was arrested in Homa Bay County on June 6 over alleged defamation of Deputy Inspector-General of Police Eliud Lagat. He was transported more than 350 kilometres to Nairobi\u2019s Central Police Station, where he was found dead two days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, pressure mounted on DIG Lagat whose complaint led to the arrest, as civil society leaders, lawyers, and political figures dismissed his stepping aside as cosmetic and demanded his immediate arrest and prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStepping aside is not justice. It\u2019s not accountability. Eliud Lagat must be arrested and charged with murder,\u201d said Hussein Khalid, Executive Director of human rights group VOCAL Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we saw was torture and murder inside a police cell. If this country respects the rule of law, Lagat must face it in court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Chief Justice David Maraga echoed the sentiment, terming Lagat\u2019s action as inadequate: \u201cStepping aside is a first step. What must follow is resignation, arrest, and prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police initially claimed Ojwang died after hitting his head on a cell wall. However, a postmortem report contradicted that version, revealing blunt force trauma to the head, neck compression, and multiple soft tissue injuries\u2014findings consistent with torture and physical assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, two senior police officers \u2014 including the Central Police Station OCS \u2014 a police constable, and a civilian CCTV technician have been arrested and are under investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On June 12, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) declared all 17 officers involved in Ojwang\u2019s arrest, transportation, and detention as murder suspects. IPOA Chairperson Isaac Hassan confirmed the suspects are under active investigation, with additional arrests imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have taken statements from all officers involved in the Homa Bay arrest and those on duty at Central Police Station\u2014both day and night shifts,\u201d Hassan told MPs during an appearance before the National Assembly\u2019s Administration and Internal Security Committee. \u201cWe are working closely with the Inspector-General to effect arrests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hassan warned that any obstruction of investigations by officers would be met with \u201cruthless action,\u201d including prosecution for interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two civilian detainees who were in the cells during Ojwang\u2019s detention have also recorded witness statements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ojwang\u2019s murder has reignited nationwide outrage over police brutality and renewed calls for deep-rooted reforms and
