The opposition and the family of social media influencer Albert Ojwang' have lodged a battle in court to force the embattled Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat to resign.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and former Attorney General Justin Muturi filed their cases before High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi.

Ojwang's father Meshack Opiyo and the politicians, through their parties, Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), Wiper Democratic Party and  Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) argue that from the day Ojwang was killed, the story by the police, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja on what transpired has been changing day by day.

The family notes that initially, National Police Service (NPS) Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga claimed that Ojwang' hit his head severally on the wall, or simply committed suicide.
