ACK pastor Elijah Gichangi, 37, from Embu's Mbiruri County was charged yesterday for allegedly defiling his seven-year old orphaned niece by Principal Magistrate Robinson Oigara as curious residents thronged the court to have glimpse of the accused.
Gichangi was arrested on Tuesday evening after residents cornered him and informed police. According to the minor, the clergyman lured her to his house as if to send her on an errand then forcibly removed her clothes and forced himself into her.
