There are growing calls in Kenya for two tech entrepreneurs to be questioned by police after a viral video allegedly showed them assaulting women at a top hotel in Nairobi.
They deny that this is what happened.
According to the alleged victims they had rejected advances by the twin brothers, Paul and Eddie Ndichu.
Their company Wapi Pay said in a statement that the brothers were trying to “neutralize a confrontation between two women and to defend themselves from certain aggressors”.
Commenting on the public reaction, Kenya’s police boss said “the incident should be reported to the nearest police station for action”:
The video comes at a time when the country is still in shock over several reported incidents of gender-based violence.
Just last week, world record-holding runner Agnes Tirop was found stabbed to death at her home. Her husband is in custody and considered by the authorities as the main suspect.
