Woman Who Slapped Traffic Police Officer On Camera Arrested

The Spokesperson of the Uganda Police Force, Kituuma Rusoke has revealed that a woman who was recorded slapping a Traffic Police Officer in one of the areas of Kampala is currently behind bars. This woman was recorded by bystanders as she assaulted this officer.

Word has it that this lady was talking on the phone while driving. The officer pulled her over to have a word with her. As he was talking to her, she pulled out a phone to record him and he grabbed it from her which prompted her to slap him.

“The officer signaled this lady to stop while she was talking on the phone while driving when the officer followed up. As they were talking, the woman pulled out a phone to record him. The officer attempted to take her phone and she slapped him. 

Let’s respect men in uniform,” said one of the bystanders.

As soon as this video started gaining traction on social media, Uganda Police followed up. Additionally, Rusoke revealed that she had been apprehended pending investigations.

Several people have come out to appreciate the Police for taking swift action. During the scuffle, the officer plucked off her number plates. Now netizens have said that the hustle she will go through to reclaim them will teach her a lesson.

This is not the first time that traffic officers have been assaulted. In 2022 a UPDF officer was also seen dragging a traffic officer by the collar along Kyaggwe road around Mukwano Mall. This is after the officer declined to clear the way for this soldier.
