Lockdown: In tears, 67-year-old widow who was assaulted by Police narrates her ordeal

A 67-year-old widow who was allegedly assaulted by a police officer during the lockdown period has recounted her ordeal.

The woman, who gave her name as Florence, has been in the news following the emergence of a footage in which she claimed to have been assaulted by an officer.

Speaking to Joy News, the teary woman said she had only gone to the market to buy food stuff for her shop when the policeman abused her.

Earlier in the week, a video surfaced online of the old woman crying while claiming she had been whipped by a policeman.

The said video drew wide criticism from a section of the public, many of whom believe the security services are taking advantage of the lockdown to abuse citizens.

Florence showed the journalist marks she sustained from the abuse and has since been unable to attend to her shop, leaving it in the hands of her daughter.
