Raila has condemned the action that took place on June 8, 2025 that led to the loss of life of Ojwang under unclear circumstances.

He described the incident as "brutal and senseless," demanding accountability for those responsible.

Ojwang, a young Kenyan, was reportedly arrested at his home in Homa Bay and he was later reported dead by the police in Nairobi Central police where he was detained after the arrest.
