A damning report from Mbagathi Hospital has cast fresh doubts over the circumstances surrounding the death of popular teacher and social media influencer Albert Ojwang, whose body was received at the facility already deceased.
According to the hospital, Ojwang’s body was brought in at 2:00am on Sunday, June 8, contradicting earlier police claims that he was rushed in for emergency medical attention. The medical report paints a grim picture, stating that Ojwang had sustained extensive injuries, including a swollen face, multiple bruises on his limbs, and severe bleeding from the back of the head, mouth, and eyes. A deep cut was also noted in the parieto-occipital region of the skull, suggesting a violent assault.
Nurses on duty confirmed that there was no possibility of life-saving intervention upon arrival. They also noted that the body showed signs of decay inconsistent with someone who had died only minutes earlier.
Adding to the growing mystery, the hospital’s documentation reveals that Ojwang’s body was delivered from the Central Police Station, raising serious concerns over police conduct. This directly contradicts Inspector General Douglas Kanja’s statement that Ojwang was taken to the hospital at 1:39am, a timeline that now appears to be inaccurate.
The contradictions between the hospital’s findings and the police narrative have intensified public outrage, with protests erupting in Nairobi on Thursday as demonstrators called for justice and accountability. Businesses in the city were brought to a standstill as youth took to the streets demanding answers.
Ojwang’s death, now shrouded in conflicting reports and growing public scrutiny, continues to raise troubling questions about the treatment he received while in police custody and the events that led to his brutal demise.
