The 59th suspect admitted to the station according to the occurrence book, Albert Ojwang, was booked at 2:35 a.m under the charge of false publication. Just one hour and ten minutes later at 3:45 a.m, his death was officially recorded and signed off by two officers.

This timeline has become a key factor to the probe, with officers from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) present at the station for a second consecutive day. The heavy police presence both inside and outside the station reflects the gravity of the situation.

A preliminary review of the station’s security setup reveals eight surveillance cameras positioned across six key locations within Central Police Station.

Four are mounted at the main entrance, two facing outward and two inward while two others monitor the reporting area adjacent to the holding cells.

These cameras are now considered critical to reconstructing what transpired between the time Ojwang was booked and when he was found dead.

Investigators have recovered several pieces of evidence from the holding cell where Ojwang was detained.

Among them are a pair of blood-stained white Crocs, a black top with visible blood marks, a wet maroon sweater, a water bottle, a transparent plastic cup, a jug, and a tumbler.

Sources indicate that the cell had blood stains on both the walls and floor, with water also smeared across the floor.

Present at the scene yesterday was the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, flanked by his two deputies; Gilbert Masengeli and Eliud Lagat as well as the Deputy Director of Criminal Investigations and the IPOA chairperson. IG Kanja emphasized the seriousness of the case.

“We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness. All footage is being reviewed, and timelines are being reconstructed,” said IG Kanja

From the family side, Meshack Ojwang, a relative of the deceased, expressed his frustration and demand for answers.

“We just want answers. Why was he alone? What happened in that hour?”

Public concern is growing over why Albert Ojwang was placed alone in a cell, and what transpired during that critical window. In response, IG Kanja has interdicted all officers who were on duty during the period in question, pending further investigation.
