Nyamira Residents Protest Death of 24-Year-Old Man in Police Custody

Residents of Iranya in Nyamira County held a peaceful protest demanding justice over the death of 24-year-old Dennis Oremo, who reportedly died while in police custody in Naromoru. Oremo, arrested by police over allegations of assaulting his employer, was found dead in a police cell, with police claiming he hanged himself using a mattress cover. His family rejects this account, calling for an independent investigation and questioning why he was not taken to court after arrest. His mother described him as a peaceful person and expressed doubts about the circumstances of his death, while the family faces emotional and financial burdens organizing his funeral amid concerns over police custody safety.
