before by fellow women who
continuously expressed their dislike for
the way she dressed . Nancy Njeri , a
tomato seller at the market said: “ we told
her not to dress that way next time and
she mockingly replied that she is free to
even walk naked. ”
“ We then decided to strip her naked so
she could walk the way she was telling
us.”
Police came to the scene in time to stop
the unfolding drama as the market went
to a standstill for about 30 minutes. “ If it
was not for the police, we would have
taught her a lesson …, ” said another
furious local trader , “ the young lady was
dressed badly. That ’ s not how to dress in
a marketplace. It sets a bad example to
the young ones ,” She added .
Police arrested a woman and a man who
allegedly incited the crowd . However,
they were later released after a huge
crowd of demonstrators gathered outside
the Gilgil police station.
