Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 73954, member: 636"] The dad of a guy who died in police custody wants a high-ranking cop dragged into court over his son's death. Meshack Ojwang filed papers claiming Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat ordered officers to grab Albert Omondi Ojwang from their home after the son supposedly shared corruption allegations about the senior official. The petition says detectives beat Albert at Central Police Station in Nairobi until he died from head trauma and strangulation, but authorities blamed it on suicide. A postmortem apparently confirmed torture instead of self-harm, yet prosecutors only charged lower-level officers while letting the deputy chief slide. The father thinks the whole trial is a setup to protect Lagat by pinning everything on subordinates who were just following orders, and he wants the court to halt proceedings until the top guy gets arrested and prosecuted.
