“I’m not a violent person, I am not strong physically, I don’t think I can fight a woman not to talk of a man.
“As a concerned citizen, I wanted to take part in the protests because there were so many things that bothered me as a person and as a journalist. Being able to speak freely is so important to me,” she stated on Joy News’ the Probe programme on September 24.
“I thought I could go there to act as surety to get bail for others…” she added.
