Former Nairobi Central Police Station OCS Samson Kiprotich Talaam, Constable James Mukhwana, and four co-accused have been denied bail by the High Court in connection with the murder of blogger Albert Ojwang. Justice Diana Kadveza ruled they will remain in custody until key witnesses, particularly those from the police force, have testified.

• The accused, including civilians John Ginge Gitau, Gin Ammitou Abwao, and Brian Mwaniki Njue, are charged with jointly killing Albert Ojwang on the night of June 7th and 8th, 2025, at Central Police Station in Nairobi.
• The court cited fears of interference with crucial witnesses, noting the accused's potential influence despite claims of interdiction.
• The gravity of the offence of murder and the high profiles of the accused were cited as factors increasing the likelihood of absconding trial, outweighing their personal liberty at this stage.
