Mother of two who was wrongfully detained by Indian police cries out for help

After being wrongfully arrested by police in Delhi, India, a Nigerian mother of two has cried out.
The mother of two lamented the alleged mistreatment she and her children, ages three and two, were subjected to by officials after she was picked up around 6 p.m. while at her shop in a now-viral video.

According to her, no one could tell her what her crime was, and she was told she would have to spend the night at the station pending the arrival of the person in charge of her case.

The distraught woman noted that the police refused to offer her children any meal even after complaining of hunger.

She said, “My Nigerian people, see me; I’ve been here since 6 pm with my two children. The first one is three years; the second one is two years. Since they brought us here, they did not ask us anything.

“They only came to ask my name, age and nationality which l answered them. That’s all they demanded for, nothing else. Around 11pm, my children complained of hunger and when l told them, they brought Indian meals that they could barely eat. They said my case would be attended to in the morning.
