Meshack Opiyo, the father of Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody, now wants Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat to give answers surrounding his son's death.
Speaking on Tuesday at the Nairobi Funeral Home, Opiyo said when his son was picked in Homa Bay, the officers who arrested him said they had been sent by Lagat. "I handed him over to you through the people that you sent to arrest him," he said. "I need you to tell me why you killed my son, what sin did he commit to warrant death?" Opiyo wondered why Ojwang was handpicked to carry the cross and be crucified for speaking about corruption in the country yet many people have spoken against the vice. "I educated him and retired so that he could take care of me.
Today you've broken my hand," he added.
He fingered the police for lying about his son's death, asking how he sustained injuries on his arms and knees by hitting his head. "Please, President William Ruto, help me as a Kenyan who pays taxes and do justice to us," he said after five pathologists conducted a postmortem.
