Former Chief Justice David Maraga has demanded the arrest of the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, his deputy, Eliud Lagat, and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss, Mohammed Amin, over the death of Albert Ojwang.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, June 16, the former CJ demanded that the arrests be made before June 25, failure to which he would join Kenyans in engaging in private prosecution against the three.

According to the former CJ, they all lied under oath about the kidnapping and the eventual murder of the blogger and urged that this step be taken promptly.

Maraga says they gave false sworn statements regarding the brutal killing of Ojwang, arguing that their accounts directly contradict several statements issued by the police service.
