Friday, June 13, 2025 - A CCTV technician believed to be responsible for tampering with key surveillance footage connected to the death of 31-year-old teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang in police custody has been arrested.
Sources confirmed the 23-year-old technician was taken into
custody for allegedly disabling the CCTV system at Nairobi’s Central Police
Station.
He is said to have been paid Ksh.3,000 to interfere with the
footage, potentially erasing vital evidence of whether Ojwang was tortured and
killed in custody.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) had
earlier flagged the disappearance of footage from the Officer Commanding
Station’s office as a major hurdle in their probe.
IPOA Vice Chair, Anne Wanjiku, told the Senate on Wednesday
that the missing or deleted footage had raised serious concerns about possible
cover-up attempts.
The arrest comes a day after Police Constable James Mukhwana
of the Central Police Station was also arrested in connection with Ojwang’s
death and is expected to be charged with murder.
