More police are on the ground for the mission of ensuring safety.
Ojwang was killed at the Nairobi Central police cells on June 7 after his arrest in Homabay.
He is set to be buried at his rural home on July 4 amid tension and fears of chaos.
A mob attacked and burnt Mawego police station on Thursday afternoon as the body of Ojwang arrived in the village.
Hours later Regional Security Committee led by Nyanza Regional Commissioner Florence Mworia accompanied by the Regional Police Commander Gisiri Nyamohanga visited the scene.
They were also accompanied by the regional Independent Policing Oversight Authority officials.
Mworia ordered for thorough investigations into the attack.
It emerged that the group of mourners commandeered the hearse to the police station and were later joined by a group of students from a local polytechnic.
The crowd surged and turned unruly prompting police to lob teargas canisters in vain.
They later walked into and out of the station carrying the casket as another group remained behind ransacking the station.
They set the Officer Commanding Station’s office and the report office on fire flattening it.
