Eric Wainaina's wife Sheba Hirst was on Friday night assaulted during an event which was held at The Elephant in Nairobi.
Taking to Twitter, the social activist revealed that she was punched by county askaris during the function.
According to Hirst, the askaris showed up 10 minutes before they wrapped up the event and informed them that they had violated regulations.
They were then arrested and taken to a nearby police station where they were reportedly attacked.
Radio host Patricia Kihiro, who had also attended the event, revealed that they were also teargassed.
"Wow. So dudes walk into The Elephant, I thought we were getting robbed.
"'They don’t say who they are, they ask for permits it’s shown, they end up getting violent, brandishing sticks, punching women and trying to take away equipment," she narrated.
She went on to explain that they were lobbed with teargas as they went to pick their cars which were parked at the station.
