Police Constable James Mukhwana has revealed to IPOA that OCS Samson Talam ordered inmates to assault blogger Albert Ojwang while in their custody.

A Kenyan police officer was arrested after shooting an unarmed civilian during protests in Nairobi over blogger Albert Ojwang's death in police custody. Demonstrations spread across cities, drawing attention to alleged extrajudicial killings.

The late Albert Ojwang's father, Meshack Ojwang, made the revelation on Monday, June 16, after returning to his native Homa Bay following a week in Nairobi, where he initially went to follow up on his son's case before learning of his death.

Mukhwana said he took the money and went to the canteen to buy the drinks, which he handed over before the beating commenced.

The group said June 25, 2025, as a national day of remembrance for all those who died during the 2024 Gen Z protests and warned that failure to act, including the resignation of DIG Eliud Lagat, would escalate civic pressure through peaceful demonstrations and legal action.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has dismissed a supposed message from its party leader, Raila Odinga, to Gen Zs pleading with them to cancel planned protests set for today, Tuesday, June 17.

The mass protests sparked by the police murder of Kenyan blogger Albert Ojwang expose the class nature of police violence, the role of the capitalist state, and the need for the international working class to unite against repression and inequality.

Protesters are expected to take to the streets in Nairobi on Tuesday, amid growing public fury over the death of 31-year-old teacher and blogger Albert Omondi Ojwang while in police custody.

Albert Ojwang, a Kenyan blogger and teacher, was reported dead in police custody on June 8, 2025, according to the Kenyan news website, Tuko.

Former police spokesperson Charles Owino has poked holes into PC James Mukhwana's confession on blogger Albert Ojwang's murder, terming it false.
