The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has refuted claims that it has cleared Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat concerning the investigation into the death of Albert Ojwang, a teacher and blogger who died in police custody last month.

• Investigations into Ojwang's death began on June 8, 2025 and are ongoing, with multiple suspects identified.
• Ahmed Issack Hassan, IPOA Chairperson, emphasized the need for accountability, stating, “if the investigations find him culpable, IPOA will make appropriate recommendations to hold him to account.”
• The High Court has allowed Lagat to remain in office pending a fair hearing related to a petition challenging his reinstatement.
