A woman has narrated how she was harassed by the police for refusing to settle them even though she didn’t break any traffic rules.
She disclosed that the officers saw her and told her to stop and open her car door, they told her she violated a traffic rule, she told them that’s not true and they insisted she settles them.
Trouble started when she refused to settle them, her plate number was taken and it took the intervention of some highly placed people to get it from them while they begged her to delete the videos she made.
“Got harassed by police a police officer who claimed I beat traffic.
I was on my way to bannex, after FCDA traffic lights a police hillux blocked me and 3 police officers came down banging on my door with riffle pointed at me asking me to open my door.
I said no and asked why. And they the one with the riffle said I should just open I insisted on knowing why. A female officer among them said I beat traffic at Sahad junction and I told her I didn’t because a VIO bike was parked there and I won’t beat traffic and they let me go. They insisted and I said I can’t let someone with a riffle into my car to avoid being shot at.”
“She came in and asked me to turn back towards FCDA I did.
There’s a mobile court there and she said ifi stop there I’d pay big money.
That it’s better I settle them.
I declined and then this drama started. She started switching my gear and dragging my steering saying she’d destroy my car. I had to keep calm and make a video. It was terrifying I had to drive down to my office for my own safety.
On getting to my workplace her colleagues came and pulled out my plate number. Saying to deal with me. she kept pushing my door in an attempt to destroy it… All this happened because I refused to settle them for a crime I didn’t commit. 💔💔💔💔💔”

There have been many protests against police brutality but nothing seems to result from all of that as people have accepted their fate in the hands of the security agencies.
