The funeral proceedings for Albert Ojwang, a teacher and blogger who died while in police custody, have taken place amid widespread mourning and protests. Ojwang's requiem mass was held at Ridgeways Baptist Church in Nairobi on July 2, 2025, with family, friends, and members of the public gathering to pay their respects. His family has demanded justice and accountability from the government regarding his death. Following the mass, Ojwang's body was transported to his home county of Homa Bay, where thousands of mourners escorted the coffin to Mawego Police Station—the last place he was detained before being transferred to Nairobi. During the procession, protesters stormed and set fire to the Mawego Police Station in Rachuonyo East, Homa Bay County, expressing outrage over Ojwang's death. The police station was overwhelmed and vandalized by youths who carried Ojwang's coffin in a charged demonstration. Ojwang reportedly died in Nairobi Central Police Station after being transferred from Mawego. The burial is scheduled for July 4, 2025, in Kokwanyo village, Kabondo Kasipul constituency, Homa Bay County. The events have drawn attention to the circumstances of Ojwang's detention and death, with calls for swift justice.
