A blogger died after police arrested him for posting about a top officer online. Albert Omondi Ojwang died after cops moved him 300 kilometers from his home to a Nairobi jail cell. Police say he hit his head against the wall and got hurt. Many people think the police killed him and want answers about what really happened. The arrest records are missing and no cameras caught what went down in his cell.
Former Chief Justice David Maraga wants Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat arrested for murder. Maraga says Lagat helped kill Ojwang and should go to prison. He plans to join protests on June 25 if nobody arrests Lagat. The former judge calls this fight part of a movement to fix Kenya's broken justice system. He says police leaders lie under oath and cover up crimes.
President William Ruto called the death heartbreaking but has not fired anyone. Opposition leaders say Ruto refuses to take blame for deaths that happen under his watch. The top prosecutor wants investigators to finish their work in seven days. Rights groups say the government targets young activists and bloggers who criticize security forces. This case could change the 2027 presidential race and force Kenya to reform its police departments.
