Kenya's independent police oversight body has launched an investigation into the death of a man who had been detained "for false publication", police have said.

Albert Ojwang was arrested for a post on X in the western town of Homa Bay and then driven 350km (220 miles) to the capital, Nairobi, his father Meshack Opiyo told journalists.

"While in custody, the suspect sustained head injuries after hitting his head against a cell wall," a police statement said. He was rushed to hospital "where he was pronounced dead on arrival".

Death by government, no doubt! I imagine he must have banged his head against the wall enough times to thoroughly collapse his skull!! Yep, and if you believe this, I have this big, beautiful bill of a bridge to sell you cheap, too!!
