PS Omollo calls for calm amid probe on mysterious death of Albert Ojwang'

PS Omollo said authorities are piecing up details regarding the incident that occurred on Saturday night after Ojwang’ was arrested in Homabay by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

The blogger was then transferred to Nairobi and booked to Central Police Station and reportedly suffered self-inflicted injuries after he allegedly hit his head on the cell walls.

PS Omollo said the government cannot pre-empt on what killed Ojwang' who was arrested on the accusation of publishing false information against a senior police officer.

The family of the deceased Ojwang are now piling pressure on police to provide information on how their kin died just hours after being arrested by the DCI officers. 

A police report claims that Ojwang' died by suicide, after an officer on a routine visit to his cell was locked in found him “with blood oozing from his head.”
