Albert ojwang’s wife reveals the last words he ever said to her

The family of Albert Ojwang, a 31-year-old teacher and blogger who died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody, is demanding justice as painful new details about his final hours come to light.

Ojwang died on June 8, reportedly from blunt force trauma to the head and multiple injuries consistent with a brutal assault. His death has triggered public outrage, with growing calls for accountability from human rights organizations and concerned citizens alike.

Leading the charge for justice is his widow, Nevnina Onyango—a nursing student and mother of their young son. Speaking to Citizen TV, she shared the chilling final conversation she had with her husband after his arrest, in which he voiced deep concern for his safety.

“He kept asking if he was going to be safe,” she said through tears. “He didn’t feel secure in custody. I want everyone to feel protected when detained. The police should safeguard lives, not end them.”

Nevnina, who has been in Nairobi since the tragedy unfolded, met with Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and has continued to rally public support for accountability.

“This pain is unimaginable. No one should have to lose a loved one like this,” she said. “We can’t bring Albert back, but holding those responsible to account would give us some peace. I’m asking Kenyans to stand with us in this fight for justice.”

Amid her grief, Nevnina is now confronted with an even more heartbreaking task—how to explain Albert’s death to their young son, George Myles Ojwang.

In a recent interview, she revealed how the child has begun sensing the sorrow around him. “He’s heard people crying and mentioning ‘Omondi’—his dad. One day, he asked me, ‘Is it true Daddy is dead?’ I told him, ‘No, he’s not,’” she said, her voice trembling.

Ojwang’s death remains under investigation, as pressure mounts on authorities to provide answers and ensure accountability.
