Paynesville, December 3, 2025 — The Paynesville City Corporation (PCC) wishes to address an incident that occurred earlier today in the redlight commercial hub involving a city officer and a pregnant street seller.
According to initial reports, Officer Solomon Boikai was enforcing the city’s ordinances regarding vending restrictions in the designated commercial area. During this operation, a confrontation arose between Officer Boikai and a female street seller who is pregnant. The situation escalated into a tussle, causing notable distress to the lady involved.
Following the incident, the pregnant lady was promptly taken to the John F. Kennedy Medical Center (JFK) for medical evaluation and care. As of now, she is reported to be in a stable condition and is receiving appropriate medical attention.
The PCC authorities have immediately recalled Officer Solomon Boikai from active duty pending a comprehensive investigation into the matter. The safety and well-being of all citizens remain our utmost priority, and we are committed to ensuring that all enforcement actions adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and human rights.

Meanwhile, PCC extends concern for the well-being of the pregnant lady and assure the public that a thorough inquiry is underway to ascertain all facts surrounding the incident.
Several marketers from the Red-Light Market in Paynesville gathered at the PCC headquarters to protest on Wednesday.
According to the protesters, a PCC police officer identified as Ray allegedly caused the death of a pregnant woman along the Pipeline Road.
