Deborah Nahwera the lady who recorded the video said that they had earlier reported the incident to the police but they demanded evidence.
“My landlady requested me to record a video. When she started assaulting the child, neighbours tried to stop her but she continued. I started recording inside my house,” she said.
Additionally, Ms Nahwera said that she shared the video with people to confirm that what they had been saying was not fiction.
Ms Nahwera’s sentiments were echoed by another neighbour of Nabulime, Harriet Masika who said, “I told her that it is too much, we all get angry but do not discipline our children like that.”
Nabulime while speaking to the Observer Newspaper on to why she was torturing her child, she said she was just angry.
