Protests erupted in Kenya after blogger Albert Ojwang died in police custody, sparking national outrage. Witnesses said police shot an unarmed bystander in Nairobi, injuring him and at least 10 others. Motorbike-riding men attacked protesters, prompting criticism from rights groups. Ojwang, arrested for criticizing Deputy Police Chief Eliud Lagat, died two days later; an autopsy showed his injuries weren’t self-inflicted, contradicting police claims. President Ruto admitted Ojwang died due to police actions and promised reforms. Two senior officers and a civilian have been arrested. Lagat stepped down temporarily, as calls for justice and accountability intensified across the country.
