WATCH: New CCTV Footage Reveals Police Brought Ojwang to Hospital Already Dead

Disturbing CCTV footage and medical reports have exposed the full extent of police misconduct in the death of Albert Ojwang, a prominent Kenyan blogger and teacher, confirming he was already deceased when officers transported him to Mbagathi Hospital on June 8.

CCTV footage from Mbagathi Hospital shows a police vehicle arriving at 1:35 a.m. on June 8, with officers displaying a shocking lack of urgency that contradicts their claims of rushing Ojwang for emergency medical treatment.

The footage reveals officers leaving Ojwang unattended in the vehicle for extended periods while they made phone calls and engaged in casual conversation.

The officers took 24 minutes from arrival before finally requesting assistance to load Ojwang onto a stretcher, spending an additional 10 minutes in the casualty section before wheeling out his body at 2:11 a.m.

The police vehicle departed at 2:15 a.m., completing what medical staff have confirmed was merely a formality to register a death.

A comprehensive medical report from Mbagathi Hospital has confirmed that Ojwang arrived at the facility already dead at 2:00 a.m., with injuries so severe that medical intervention was impossible.

The report details extensive trauma that directly contradicts initial police claims of accidental injury.

According to hospital staff, Ojwang’s face was notably swollen, and his limbs bore multiple severe bruises indicating a violent assault.

Nurses reported that he was “oozing blood relentlessly from the back of his head, his mouth, and his eyes.”

A distinct cut in the parieto-occipital region further reinforced evidence of brutal assault rather than self-inflicted harm.

Medical personnel noted that the body showed signs of decay inconsistent with someone who had been alive shortly before arrival, suggesting Ojwang had been dead for some time before being transported to the hospital.

The case has revealed systematic attempts to destroy evidence.

A technician responsible for installing all 25 CCTV cameras at Central Police Station was arrested Friday after allegedly being coerced into deleting footage from June 6-7.

According to sources, the technician was summoned to the station at 6:00 a.m. on June 8 and taken to a senior officer’s office where the digital video recorder was housed.

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) had previously confirmed that the CCTV system at Central Police Station was tampered with just hours after Ojwang’s death, raising serious questions about evidence integrity and investigation transparency.

Official Contradictions and Timeline Discrepancies
While Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja claimed Ojwang was taken to the hospital at 1:39 a.m., hospital records mark his arrival at 2:00 a.m., and CCTV footage shows the police vehicle arriving at 1:35 a.m.

These timing inconsistencies, combined with the medical evidence, paint a picture of coordinated deception.

Initial police reports claimed Ojwang sustained fatal injuries after hitting his head against a cell wall at Central Police Station.

However, the autopsy and hospital medical examination revealed trauma patterns consistent with assault, directly contradicting the official police narrative.

National Outrage and Calls for Reform
President William Ruto expressed shock at the revelations and ordered a “swift, transparent, and credible” investigation.

“This tragic occurrence, at the hands of the police, is heartbreaking and unacceptable,” Ruto stated, while cautioning against actions that could compromise the investigative process.

The Digital Content Creators Association of Kenya paid tribute to Ojwang, describing him as “a voice of the youth, a symbol of resilience, and an embodiment of the dreams and hopes of a generation that uses digital platforms to inspire change.”

The association, along with human rights groups, has demanded immediate action against the officers involved and comprehensive police accountability reforms.

Public demonstrations have erupted across Nairobi and other major cities, with businesses brought to a standstill on Thursday as protesters demanded justice. Chants of “Justice for Albert Ojwang” reflect growing frustration with police brutality and impunity in Kenya.
