Two more police officers implicated in the murder of teacher Albert Ojwang while in custody at the Central police station surrendered Monday to face further grilling and possible arraignment.
The deputy Officer Commanding Station Samuel Ngán’ga and the Cell Senty Peter Kimani surrendered to the Independent Policing Oversight Authority and declared they are ready to be processed.
This was after it emerged they were missing over the weekend and police with IPOA officials were looking for them.
The two were among those who were on duty when Ojwang was brought in from Homabay by the DCI detectives.
They are said to have received instructions to plan the torture of Ojwang.
At least 17 police officers who were involved in the saga have been identified and grill in initial statements.
The detention of the two brings to four, the number of police officers in custody over the issue that has prompted the stepping aside of Deputy Inspector General of Kenya Police Service Eliud Lagat.
Lagat had complained of false publication before the DCI pursued Ojwang to his Homabay home and brought him to Nairobi where the murder took place.
Four other civilians are in custody over the saga.
The Officer Commanding Central Police Station in Nairobi Samson Talaam will remain in custody until Wednesday, June 18, 2025 when the court will rule whether he will be detained for 21 days or not.
