Exposed: What Happened in Cell 3? Inside the Final Hour of Albert Ojwang’s Life

Citizen TV has obtained exclusive information regarding the ongoing investigation into the death of Albert Ojwang while in police custody.
 

Authorities are relying heavily on CCTV footage to piece together the final moments of his detention at the Central Police Station.

 

Documents obtained by Citizen TV confirm that Ojwang died just over an hour after he was booked.

According to the Occurrence Book, he was the 59th suspect admitted to the station, booked at 2:35 a.m. under the charge of false publication. Just one hour and ten minutes later—at 3:45 a.m.—his death was officially recorded and signed off by two officers.

 

This timeline has become central to the investigation, with officers from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) present at the station for a second consecutive day. The heavy police presence both inside and outside the station reflects the gravity of the situation.

 
 
 

A preliminary review of the station's security setup reveals eight surveillance cameras positioned across six key locations within Central Police Station.

 

Four are mounted at the main entrance—two facing outward and two inward—while two others monitor the reporting area adjacent to the holding cells.

 

These cameras are now considered critical to reconstructing what transpired between the time Ojwang was booked and when he was found dead.

 

Investigators have recovered several pieces of evidence from the holding cell where Ojwang was detained.

Among them are a pair of blood-stained white Crocs, a black top with visible blood marks, a wet maroon sweater, a water bottle, a transparent plastic cup, a jug, and a tumbler.

 

Sources indicate that the cell had blood stains on both the walls and floor, with water also smeared across the floor.

Present at the scene today was the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, flanked by his two deputies—Gilbert Masengeli and Eliude Lagat—as well as the Deputy Director of Criminal Investigations and the IPOA chairperson. IG Kanja emphasized the seriousness of the case, saying:

"We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness. All footage is being reviewed, and timelines are being reconstructed."
Meanwhile, the digital footprint of individuals connected to the case is also drawing attention. A social media account on platform X, believed to belong to Kevin—a suspect previously held at Kamukunji Police Station—has been deactivated, raising further questions.

 

From the family side, Meshack Ojwang, a relative of the deceased, expressed his frustration and demand for answers:

"We just want answers. Why was he alone? What happened in that hour?"

 

Public concern is growing over why Albert Ojwang was placed alone in a cell, and what transpired during that critical window. In response, IG Kanja has interdicted all officers who were on duty during the period in question, pending further investigation.
