A video showing a police officer mistreating a woman at the Eldoret Law Courts has sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans. Some have called on the National Police Service to discipline the officer, while others have defended him.
In the video shared by Tv47, the police officer is seen pushing a female suspect, sparking criticism from Kenyans who took to social media. Some comments included:
– “The soldier is right. Ladies are defending the lady. You could have used the same energy to defend the man slapped by a lady recently.” – Lagat Robert
– “Were there no female police officers to arrest or escort her as stipulated by the law?” – Betty Muriu.
– “As long as she was walking in the right direction and cooperating, why did he have to push her physically with so much humiliation? Very disappointed with the act.” – Shoe Hub
– “To frogmarch someone is to drag or push them forward against their will, often by holding their arms tightly.” – Joshua CJ.
