Albert Omondi Ojwang, 31, died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody on June 8, 2025, days after being arrested for allegedly posting critical comments about a senior police officer. A teacher by profession, social commentator, and young father, Albert was known for his outspoken views on governance and justice. He was detained in Nairobi’s Central Police Station, far from his home in Homa Bay County, after his arrest drew national attention. Authorities initially claimed he died by hitting his head against a cell wall, but an autopsy later revealed injuries consistent with torture. His death has warranted widespread outrage, protests, and calls for accountability. Remembered as a courageous and thoughtful voice for the people, Albert’s tragic death has become a symbol of the fight against police brutality and repression in Kenya.
