A group of youths in Nairobi Central Business District (CBD are protesting the killing of Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody on Sunday night.

The youths, with a group of civil society, marched in several streets of Nairobi demanding the resignation of Deputy Inspector General of police, DIG Eliud Lagat. Lagat is accused of ordering the arrest of Ojwang, who later died in the hands of police.

Police lobbed tear gas canisters at a group of protesters in the city centre.

The group was protesting the killing of Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody on Sunday morning.

The group was dispersed by anti-riot police who were waiting outside the National Police Service headquarters, Jogoo House.

Police said they could not allow them beyond there and to Harambee Avenue, where they planned to camp, as Treasury CS John Mbadi planned to read his budget.

The protest is still going on.
