ODM leader Raila has opened up about the killing of Albert Ojwang who died in police cells under unclear circumstances.
Ojwang, a blogger from Homa-bay died at the central police station where he was being held after he was transported from his village in case that Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat is the complaint.
In a statement, Raila Odinga has said that it is not clear who gave the instructions for Ojwang to be tortured or killed as alleged.
“I have been deeply horrified by reports of a young Kenyan, Robert Ojwang, who was picked from Homa-Bay and driver to his death in police cells in Nairobi, over alleged offensive social media post,” stated Raila
Adding that, “So far, nobody knows who have the orders for Ojwang to be arrested and ferried all the way from to Nairobi yet that person should be answering Kenyans,”
Raila said Ojwang now joins the list of young defenseless Kenyans whose lives have been taken too soon in a brutal and senseless manner in the hands of the police.
“While these deaths cause tremendous pain to individuals and their families, they seriously erode the credibility of the police and the state and that is significant step towards chaos and collapse,”
The ODM leader said when citizens no longer tell the difference between the two forms of injustices-police injustice and mob-justice- we are staring at the reality of a failed nation.
