The other four include Police Constables James Mukhwana and Peter Kimani and then inmates John Ngige Gitau, Gin Ammitou Abwao and Brian Mwaniki Njue.
Ingonga approved the charges after receiving an investigation file from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), which has been probing Ojwang’s death.
The six will be arraigned before the Kibera High Court on June 23, 2025 at 2:00pm to face the murder charges contrary to Section 204 of the Penal Code, Cap. 63 of the Laws of Kenya.
