The mystery surrounding the death of social media influencer and teacher Albert Ojwang’ in police custody took a dramatic twist on Friday after the officer in charge of Central Police Station, Chief Inspector Samson Talam, was arrested in Eldoret and transported to Nairobi, marking the first clear crack in what appeared to be a cover-up and a search for a scapegoat.

The cover-up plot thickened on the same day a technician suspected of tampering with CCTV cameras, allegedly to conceal what really happened at Central Police Station on the nights of June 7 and 8, 2025, was arrested.
