Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) of Police Eliud Lagat has stepped aside following sustained public calls to pave the way for investigations into the death of teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang’ while in police custody over a week ago.

The decision came after a week of unrelenting public rage and just a day before a planned protest in Nairobi to further put pressure on him to resign.
