#kenya: *DRAMATIC TWIST IN OJWANG'S MURDER PROBE! DCI TAKES OVER FROM IPOA* The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has officially taken over a probe into alleged misconduct by IPOA, after Nairobi Central Police Station OCS Samson Talaam filed a formal complaint. At the heart of the issue is a mobile phone seized from Talaam during investigations into the death of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang’. The phone, which was handed over to IPOA along with its password, allegedly sent out text messages requesting money while still in IPOA’s custody. This raised serious concerns about possible tampering or misuse of evidence. Lawyer Danstan Omari, representing Talaam, argued that since the phone was in IPOA’s possession, the DCI must now investigate the criminal aspect of the case. IPOA, however, has pushed back against calls for its officials to step aside, calling such demands premature and legally unfounded. The matter is set to be mentioned in court again on July 1, 2025, and the DCI is expected to submit a comprehensive report.
