Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has said that any officer implicated in the death of Albert Ojwang must step aside, including the Deputy Inspector General Eluid Lagat, if found guilty.
Appearing before a parliamentary committee alongside Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin, the IG said that no one will be shielded from accountability. "Any person whose name will be mentioned as having played any role in the death of Albert Ojwang must record their statement.
If the DIG is going to be mentioned, then on that basis, he will have to step aside to allow the completion of the investigation," Kanja said.
Kanja said the initial report from police indicated that the suspect had banged his head against a wall while in custody, a claim that has since been demystified. "The primary report we received on Sunday indicated that the suspect had hit his head on the walls.
