The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohamed Amin has been given until July 22 to complete investigations into disturbing allegations surrounding a mobile phone linked to Central Police Station Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Samson Talaam.
The probe seeks to establish whether the phone, allegedly belonging to the detained officer, has been used to **solicit funds from members of the public** while Talaam remains in custody. Authorities are investigating claims that individuals may be exploiting the device to raise money under false pretenses or in connection with illicit activity.
Talaam is currently facing **murder charges** related to the death of **teacher and blogger Albert Ojwang**, who had been detained at the Central Police Station before his death. The case has drawn significant public attention, especially due to Ojwang’s public profile and the troubling circumstances of his demise.
The directive to DCI Mohamed Amin reflects the urgency of the matter and the growing concern about possible misuse of official communication tools by officers, even after detention. The investigation aims to uncover the source of the alleged extortion messages and determine whether Talaam or his associates are involved.
The court’s order and the subsequent investigations underscore the government’s commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability within the police service. As the deadline approaches, the public awaits the outcome with growing anticipation, hoping it will shed light on both the alleged financial misconduct and the broader murder case that continues to grip the nation.
