Samson Talam, the head of police in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, has been arrested in connection with the death of young blogger Albert Ojwang.
Ojwang tragically lost his life while in police custody, sparking nationwide outrage and calls for justice.
Ojwang had been arrested over a social media post that reportedly incited attacks on senior government officials.
However, his detention ended in tragedy. Kenyan police initially claimed that Ojwang died from self-inflicted injuries, alleging that he repeatedly hit his head against a cell wall.
This explanation was quickly dismissed by many Kenyans, who believe foul play was involved.
The arrest of Talam marks a significant step in addressing growing public anger over alleged police brutality and impunity.
Investigations are ongoing as the nation demands accountability for Ojwang’s death.
