Getting in front of Andy Obada's Compound, (He's a tenant) that compound is a short-cut to my house. I didn't pass through the compound but I saw people passing through

Unfortunately, Andy Obada sat outside smoking with his friend and she approached him asking why she was not allowed to pass the road as he had earlier warned. Before she could finish her statement, Andy attacked her in the presence of her son and beat Gloria to stupor.

She said: "He slapped me and started beating me in presence of my son and friend. I fell on the floor and he beat me and his friend that was with him was now telling me I shouldn't have asked him that question and that I deserve the beating I was given."
