Nairobi Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Samson Kiprotich Talaam, a person of interest in the murder of Albert Omondi Ojwang, has been arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts.

OCS Talaam was arraigned before Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Benmark Ekhubi on Monday, June 16, 2025, for a miscellaneous application.

The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) is seeking to detain OCS Talaam for 21 days to complete their investigations.

According to Senior Assistant Director of Investigations with IPOA, Abdirahaman Jibril, there is need for the court to grant them the requested days since they have only gathered brief evidence so far.

“Brief evidence gathered so far indicates that the respondent (OCS Talaam) and others still at large are suspected to have directed and planned an attempted cover-up of the brutal assault of the deceased while inside cells at the Central Police Station,” part of the miscellaneous application read.
