Grief turned into fury in Homa Bay as thousands of mourners escorted the body of Albert Ojwang to Mawego Police Station, the last place he was seen alive before his mysterious transfer to Nairobi. What began as a solemn funeral procession ended in flames, with the police station set ablaze by a community demanding truth and justice.

Albert’s body, lying in a coffin carried by emotional family members and friends, was paraded through the village as villagers chanted songs of sorrow and resistance. All eyes were on Mawego Police Station the building that held the answers nobody was willing to give. The station that last logged him in. The station that never explained his sudden disappearance.

As the mourners reached the gates, they placed Albert’s casket right outside the station, an act heavy with symbolism. It was not just a funeral. It was a message. A statement that Albert's story would not be erased in silence. That the village refused to bury him without confronting the system that failed him.

Moments later, rage broke loose. Flames engulfed the station as youths lit fires and hurled stones. Some carried placards reading “Justice for Ojwang,” others simply screamed in pain. Police officers on site were quickly overwhelmed and retreated. Teargas was fired, but it was no match for the fury of a community betrayed.

Albert Ojwang was just 27. He had dreams, hopes, and a family that loved him. His mysterious death has opened deep wounds not just of personal loss, but of institutional failure. The villagers say they are tired of empty statements and unending investigations. They want answers. They want justice. They want accountability.

His body may have been laid to rest, but his name has become a rallying cry. Albert Ojwang did not die in vain. His village has spoken, and now the nation watches.
