Unwilling to turn a blind eye to such injustice, Olayo swiftly embarked on a mission to bring the perpetrator to justice.

As Olayo delved deeper into the case, she encountered unexpected hurdles. Some elements within the police force seemed determined to obstruct her efforts.

Nevertheless, Olayo remained steadfast in her pursuit of accountability and justice.

Was the police officer arrested?

Olayo's relentless advocacy eventually yielded a significant breakthrough – the arrest of the police officer responsible for the assault.

However, her triumph was tinged with adversity. In the course of her investigation and activism, Olayo found herself at odds with authorities who seemingly aimed to silence her.

A surprising turn of events saw Olayo's commitment tested even further.

She was arrested and charged with causing a disturbance at a police station, a stark irony considering her efforts to seek justice within the same institution.

Reflecting on her experience, Olayo shared,

Olayo vindicated by court

"The most difficult day in my life was sitting down in a police cell for doing what is right... But I realized the fight needs to get even bolder."

Undeterred by challenges and personal hardships, Olayo persisted. After seven years, the court vindicated her unwavering determination.

The police officer responsible for the assault was convicted, marking a pivotal triumph not only for the survivor but also for Olayo's commitment to justice.

Olayo's story serves as a poignant reminder of the lengths human rights activists are willing to go to hold perpetrators accountable and secure justice.

Her experience underscores the importance of challenging corruption and standing up for the rights of the vulnerable, even when faced with personal risks.
