Nyamira, Kenya: Police in Nyamira have arrested a 30-year-old boda boda operator who allegedly defiled two girls aged seven and 11.
The girls, who are siblings, were allegedly lured by the man into a guest house in Kebirigo Trading Center on Tuesday evening where he defiled them. He was caught in the act by a care-taker after the girls made distress calls.
The man had lied to the caretaker that the children’s mother had been injured in a motorcycle accident and was admitted at a local hospital.
“Given the circumstances, I allowed them in but minutes later, I heard the children screaning. I peeped through the window and saw the man. I quickly called the watchman who knocked down the door and rescued the minors,” said the caretaker.
