The Legal Resources Foundation Trust on Tuesday condemned the death of Albert Ojwang in police custody, calling it a constitutional violation and evidence of systemic failure in police service.

 Ojwang, who had travelled to Migori County to visit family, was arrested by officers allegedly linked to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over a social media post described by authorities as “derogatory.”
