Kenyan Influencer Dies in Police Custody, Sparking Outrage and Calls for Reform

Albert Ojwang, a Kenyan influencer and teacher, died in police custody, sparking outrage and calls for reform. His death follows a pattern of similar incidents, highlighting concerns about police brutality and accountability. 'IPOA should come out very strongly; otherwise, Kenyans will lose faith if they brush things off,' said Jhanda Zaheer, MP, Nyaribari Chache, during a TV47 news segment. The incident has led to condemnation from civil society groups and renewed calls for increased transparency and justice within the Kenyan police force. Another young Kenyan, Kevin Muinde, was also recently arrested in a similar manner, further fueling public concern.
