"Police Killed Him": Ruto Breaks Silence on Activist Ojwang's Death | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Kenya’s President William Ruto has publicly condemned the death of 31-year-old Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody after being arrested over a social media post accusing a top police officer of corruption. Police initially claimed Ojwang died by hitting his head against a wall, but a government pathologist later said his injuries were unlikely to be self-inflicted. Ruto called the death “heartbreaking and unacceptable” and urged a swift investigation. The case has sparked outrage across Kenya, which is still reeling from last year’s deadly anti-government protests. Five police officers have been suspended, and international voices, including the U.S. and UK, are demanding justice. Rights groups say this reflects a larger pattern of police abuse and silencing of critics.
