Kenya: Autopsy Finds Man Died of Assault, Not Suicide, While in Custody | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Kenya is in uproar after the suspicious death of 31-year-old Albert Ojwang in police custody. Arrested over a social media post accusing a top police official of corruption, Ojwang was later found dead in his cell. Police initially claimed he had killed himself, but a government autopsy revealed head trauma, neck compression, and signs of assault, ruling out suicide. The case has sparked protests across Nairobi, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of the deputy police chief named in Ojwang’s post. Five officers have been suspended, and Kenya’s public prosecutor has ordered a fast-tracked investigation. Rights groups say this fits a disturbing pattern of police abuse, with growing calls for accountability from both the public and political leaders.
