A police officer has been dramatically arrested in connection with the chilling murder of blogger Albert Ojwang’. The arrest marks the first major breakthrough in the high-stakes investigation that has gripped the nation.
Sources have confirmed that a police officer from Nairobi’s Central Police Station was taken into custody on the morning of Thursday, June 12. The arrest was carried out by officers from the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU) and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), who immediately transferred the suspect to Capitol Hill Police Station.
According to an official memo seen Thursday evening, the arrest follows days of mounting pressure and a deepening investigation into how Ojwang met his mysterious and untimely death after being detained in Homa Bay.
Uncovering the Shadows: A Timeline of Twists shockingly, the officer apprehended was not among the six names previously released by IPOA Vice Chairperson Ann Mwangi during her address to the Senate.
This unexpected turn has raised serious questions about the internal operations of the Nairobi Central Police Station and possible cover-ups surrounding the case.
IPOA’s probe has already revealed damning gaps in police procedure, including the failure to formally book Ojwang after his arrest and suspicious tampering with crucial CCTV footage.
Investigators say that the station’s security cameras were inexplicably turned off just as Ojwang was brought in. Even more disturbing, forensic data from the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) shows that the CCTV discs were switched out at exactly 07:23:29 and 07:23:48 AM on Saturday, June 8 — less than 12 hours after Ojwang was recorded entering the station at 9:35 PM on June 7.
Who Killed Ojwang’? Eyes on the StationAs authorities dig deeper, they’re now zeroing in on who exactly disconnected the CCTV system and why.
IPOA Chairperson Issack Hassan confirmed that a detailed forensic analysis of the DVR hard drive is underway, with police tech specialists working around the clock to retrieve erased footage.
Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja also weighed in, revealing that additional suspects could face arrest soon, especially those suspected of obstructing justice by tampering with evidence.

As this explosive investigation unfolds, all eyes remain fixed on the corridors of power and justice in Nairobi.This is not just about one arrest. It’s about uncovering a truth that someone desperately wanted buried.
