Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has suspended several senior officers at Nairobi's Central Police Station following the controversial death of a suspect in custody.

The move comes amid mounting public outrage and demands for accountability over the death of Albert Ojwang', a teacher who died under unclear circumstances while being held at the station.

Ojwang was arrested on Saturday in Homa Bay over what authorities described as a "derogatory" social media post on platform X (formerly Twitter).

He was transferred to Nairobi by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and booked into Central Police Station pending further investigation.
