Shockwaves ran across the country Monday as fresh developments in the suspect death of Albert Ojwang, a Kenyan guy who died in police custody under strange conditions, appeared.
Though prior reports, government pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor has said he would not conduct Ojwang’s autopsy, therefore generating new queries and conjecture. He affirmed he will only supervise the procedure as a component of a bigger group, therefore distancing himself from personally performing the investigation.
The news follows social media outcry and accusations that Oduor had disqualified himself because of a possible conflict of interest. In a stunning turn, The Eastleigh Voice confirmed that another government pathologist, Dr. Caroline Njeru, will lead the autopsy that has been rescheduled for 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 10.
Dr. Njeru postponed the first autopsy on Monday, citing inadequate morguean lighting circumstances, an odd move that increased public suspicion.
On Saturday, Ojwang, who had gone to Homa Bay to see family, was apprehended over a contentious social media post. Later moved to Nairobis Central Police Station, he apparently died in custody.
Officials claim Ojwang died from hitting his head against a wall while alone in a cell. Still, many Kenyans as well as the family are not persuaded.
Shocking disclosures from the familys lawyer show horrible injuries. His entire head was swelled, especially the forehead, nose, and ears. Visibly upset, the attorney said blood was pouring from his mouth and nose.
He also pointed to possible foul play and demanded an independent inquiry, citing obvious injuries on Ojwangs hands and shoulders.
Expecting an autopsy today to move the case forward, the attorney disclosed that his team had been gathering evidence for more than 24 hours.
Leaving more questions than answers, a tense meeting at the Chief Government Pathologists office resulted in the postponement of the treatment.
The death has sparked national fury, with political leaders, regular Kenyans, and civil society organizations urging a full, open inquiry.
The nation watches closely, asking: What really happened to Albert Ojwang as calls for justice get louder?
