Police investigators questioned ten officers from Central station about Albert Ojwang's death. The Internal Affairs Unit wants to know what happened before and after Ojwang died during June 7. Officers who worked that day gave statements at IAU offices during Friday and the weekend. The agency studies police behavior and makes recommendations to prosecutors about next steps. Station commanders lied to their superiors about what really happened when Ojwang arrived.
Police hunted down station commander Samson Talam and arrested him Friday after he avoided capture. Authorities claimed Talam turned off his phones since Thursday and tried to hide from investigators. His family denied these claims and said he cooperated fully with police before surrendering himself. Talam faces murder charges after witnesses and suspects mentioned his name during questioning. His lawyer Danstan Omari denies all accusations against the commander.
Investigators arrested a technician who deleted security camera footage after Ojwang's murder. The same person who installed the CCTV system received 3000 shillings to erase evidence. Police officer James Mukhwana remains detained for one week as investigations continue. IPOA believes multiple officers beat Ojwang to death inside his cell. The Independent Police Oversight Authority claims officers tried to cover up the killing by tampering with video evidence.
