A new twist has emerged in the unfortunate death of a teacher and social media influencer, Albert Ojwang, after a report by Mbagathi Hospital revealed that he was brought in already dead.
According to the report, Ojwang's body was brought in at 2:00am on Sunday, long after he had ceased to live.
This information is in sharp contrast to earlier claims by police officers that he was rushed to the hospital for immediate medical attention.
The report by the hospital detailed that Ojwang was discovered bearing extensive and gruesome injuries. His face was notably swollen, and his limbs were marred with a series of severe bruises, showing the violent nature of the attack.
In a vivid description of the injuries, the nurses on duty revealed that Ojwang was oozing blood relentlessly from the back of his head, his mouth, and his eyes.
Additionally, a distinct cut was noted in the parieto-occipital region, reinforcing the theory of a brutal assault rather than self-inflicted harm.
"His face was swollen. His body and limbs were marred by multiple bruises," the report details.
Through a careful medical examination, the nurses also observed that there was no chance for medical intervention; the teacher's condition was beyond help when he arrived.
Their accounts indicate that the body had been in a state of decay that is inconsistent with someone who had been alive minutes before.
Adding to the mystery, the hospital's documents disclosed that Ojwang's body was transported from the Central Police Station.
This detail directly contradicts the earlier narrative provided by police officials regarding his transport for emergency care. While police IG Douglas Kanja revealed that Ojwang was taken to the hospital at 1:39 am, the official hospital record marks his arrival at 2:00 am.
The inconsistency in timings, events, and his condition between the police and the hospital's reports raises serious questions about the chain of custody and the actual events at the police station.
This revelation by the hospital continues to raise more questions about the death that has sparked tension in the country. Already, businesses were brought to a standstill in Nairobi on Thursday as youths took to the streets demanding justice over the unfortunate incident.
