An independent police officer has ultimately criticized Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat in connection with Ojwang’s death.
This is approximately two weeks after public riots broke out against Dig, who was accused of ordering the victim’s torture while in detention for allegedly damaging him.
Lagat, who was once surrounded by senior officials, including IPOA chairman Isaack Hassan, in showing a controversial solidarity, found himself being trapped.
He was interviewed for hours about his involvement in the arrest of the blogger.
