Tortured and left with broken arm, Andeyo still fears for her life
- 5 years ago
Joyce Andeyo was carrying out her business in Ongata Rongai as usual when a police vehicle arrived.
Andeyo was not distracted since she had not committed any offence warranting the attention of the police.
The mother of three went on attending to her customers, thinking the police were doing their normal security routines of ensuring law and order prevails.
But before she could finish attending to her customers, a police officer who was accompanied by three others alighted from the vehicle and went directly to her.
“We want you to come with us to the police station,” those were the words of the officer according to the vendor, when she demanded to know why she was being arrested.
The officer only said, “You are a suspect” without delving into more details, to a now terrified Andeyo.
After the officer insisted that she must accompany them, Andeyo requested for time so that she could phone a friend to stand in for her, while she was with the police.
