Hours after CCTV footage of Albert Ojwang’s final moments at Mbagathi Hospital emerged, Kenyans from different sectors have continued to pile pressure on the National Police Service (NPS) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to come clean on what transpired.

In a statement on Saturday, June 14, 2025, the Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Kalerwa Salasya, challenged police officers at the Central Police Station, where Ojwang was booked in before later being confirmed dead, to come out and reveal what happened.

Salasya argued that their version of the story could save them or implicate them further in Ojwang’s murder.

“The walls are closing in. Nairobi Central Police officers must now come clean — or carry the cross of silence and guilt. The bold and defiant spirit of Albert will never rest until justice is served. Anyone who took part in this atrocity must know: there will be no escape,” Salasya’s statement read in part.

“Only the truth can save you now—nothing less,” he added.

Mbagathi CCTV footage

In CCTV footage obtained by a local media house on Saturday, June 14, 2025, a police vehicle was seen driving into Mbagathi Hospital at 1:35 am. Three officers then emerged from the vehicle, and two of them engaged in a brief conversation before walking towards the casualty section of the health facility.

During this time, Ojwang was still at the back of the vehicle, unattended. The officers then reappeared at 1:37 am while making phone calls.

From the footage, the officers took close to 20 minutes before wheeling Ojwang into the hospital while covered in white sheets.

The officers, whose identity has not been established, then spent another 10 minutes in the casualty section after taking Ojwang to the hospital.

At 2:11 am, they wheeled out with the body.

Demands

With the CCTV footage adding a fresh twist and pointing to a case of laxity, Salasya called for full media coverage of the case.

“On 20th, in court, we demand live media coverage from all national television stations. Kenyans must witness the proceedings live, unedited, as we let the public court of opinion draw its own conclusions,” Salasya insisted.

“We want transparency. We want accountability.”

So far, Central Police Station OCS Samson Talam and police officer James Mukhwana have been arrested. During a presser on Friday, June 13, 2025, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) confirmed the arrests, revealing that a civilian was also behind bars for tampering with CCTV footage at the station.
