The court has asked Kilimani Police Station to look into assault claims by a woman against a police officer at Central police station after she turned down his sexual advances.
Mary Ndung’u who was in court for assaulting police constable Francis Maina denied the charges telling Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi that she was in fact the victim.
Ndung’u said officer Maina turned violent after she refused to have sex with him on Saturday night when she had gone to the station to report her boyfriend.
“When I declined his sexual fronts, he hit me with a wooden object before throwing me in the cells,” said Ndung’u.
Ndung’u who had bruises on her face and a dark wounded eye said she was locked up in the cells until Tuesday. A court clerk who examined the accused also confirmed that she had injuries on her thighs and back.
She also accused constable Maina of taking her two phones, her identity card and cash.
“The officer also took my Infinix and Tecno mobile phones, my national ID card and sh4500 which I had,” she said.
