County official flees after defiling pupil, 15

Police are looking for an official of the county government who has been accused of sexually defiling a 15-year-old Class Six pupil.

They also claimed the officer made the victim pregnant and facilitated an abortion.

Speaking in his office yesterday, Kilifi OCPD Alexander Makau said the official is on the run after being confronted with the accusations and ordered to report to detectives.

“I want to confirm that he defiled a child and we are pursuing him. We have processed the case file and we are supposed to obtain a warrant of arrest. We promise that by the end of the week, we will have arrested him,” said Mr Makau.

The OCPD added that police has been searching for the officer for the past two weeks and that when he is arrested, he will be charged withr defilement and involvement in procuring an abortion.

Run away

“When ones commits an offence he will run away. And this is serious, it is not a petty offence and so he must be on the run. My area OCS is still pursuing the suspect. We are trucking his phone. Some of his numbers are on and others have been switched off,” he said.

The Standard established that a requisition letter to compel the officer to go to Kilifi Police Station on November 16, 2017, was delivered to his office on November 14.

However, the man went underground.

The victim's father, a casual worker in Shanzu, said he was summoned by the head teacher, who informed him of his daughter's disciplinary cases.

The girl later disappeared from home.

“The head teacher called me to school because my daughter had become rude to the teachers and she also had a lot of money. She was missing from home. We started searching for her and we found her in Marembo. I took her to the police,” said the father.
