Angry protestors confront undercover police allegedly filming them during demos over Albert Ojwang's death

Videos of protestors angrily confronting undercover police officers, accusing them of secretly photographing demonstrators after Albert Ojwang's death.

The videos went viral on social media as Kenyans mourned and protested the tragic death of Ojwang, a teacher and blogger who died while in police custody at Central Police Station in Nairobi.

In one of the viral clips, a man dressed in a dark blue cap and coat is seen seeking refuge behind uniformed officers as a furious crowd chants and surges toward him.

Moments later, police appear to release the man, prompting protesters to chase and corner him.

The crowd accused the man of being an undercover officer and demanded he identifies himself.

In the hands of the protesters, he was forced to reveal his identity, including his name, force number, and workplace, which he said was Pangani Police Station.

The disturbing footage sparked mixed reactions online, with many expressing both empathy for the cause and concern over rising lawlessness.

Jaysmiles quipped, “Inaitwa restore factory slap.”

Another user, Thebigboss, lamented, “Inakaa hii Kenya, hakuna law. Law ni ile tu imeandikwa lakini haifanyi kazi. Juu polisi ni kama raia, raia pia ni kama polisi. Too bad.”

But not everyone supported the crowd’s actions. Miss Areman asked, “I know we are all fighting for the rights of our children, but if we exhibit the same behaviour as them, what’s the difference between us and the oppressors?”

Dhul Qarneyn added a cautionary note, “We may fight for our rights, but please let us not let Kenya descend into lawlessness. See Somalia and Sudan, they have nothing left to fight for because the countries are destroyed.”

The confrontation video emerged against a backdrop of growing public mistrust and frustration with law enforcement, fueled by rising cases of abductions, enforced disappearances, and allegations of police brutality.

Albert Ojwang, who had allegedly posted a critical message targeting Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat on social media, added pressure on the National Police Service.

His family and rights groups are demanding accountability and justice, insisting that no Kenyan should lose their life in custody for expressing their opinion.
