#albertojwang #kenyaprotests
Nevnina Onyango, the widow of the late Kenyan blogger and teacer Albert Ojwang has told the BBC about the 'last words' that he shared with her while in police custody and the tragic moment in which she later saw his body. The BBC also spoke to the teacher's father, Meshack Ojwang. Albert was arrested in his home village in western Kenya for allegedly insulting a police boss on social media. He was taken to Nairobi, where he later died in a police station. This week there has been protests in the capital calling for justice. The Kenyan Parliament has called the chief of police, the head of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the internal affairs minister, and the Independent Policing Oversight Authority for questioning. Two police officers have been arrested in connection to Albert’s death.
