Man cohabiting with school leaver busted in lodging

By PHILIP ORWA

AWASI, KENYA: There was pandemonium in Awasi town when a family man who had secretly been living in a lodging with a Form Four leaver got smoked out and paraded before members of the public.

The man, who confessed of being a tractor driver from Koru, had been ‘dating’ the school girl for a while. The girl was a student in the nearby secondary school and had just sat for her last paper the Friday of November 15.

Excited after completing her exams, the girl threw caution to the wind and fell for her sugar daddy’s tricks. The man made all the plans — including booking a lodging where they were to live for a while — and even send her bus fare to Awasi, where they were to meet.

The hanky-panky went on for three days without the public noticing.

On the fourth day, when they were supposed to be leaving, the girl had stepped out to shop for cosmetics. However, as she was going back to the lodging, hawk eyed members of the public got suspicious of her, as she kept looking over her shoulders.

Shocked with what such a shy beautiful girl would be doing in a lodging, a concerned member of the public decided to snoop on her. Together with others, he trailed her to the room.

 “We wadhi wane ane gima nyako matin ni dhi omo e ute nindo gi. Samoro japuonj moro oore mondo obi onind kode (Let’s go and check what this small girl is going to do inside that room, maybe one of the school teachers lured her into coming into the room),” one of the men in the crowd was heard saying.

Pleading

The heaving public forced the occupants to open the door, and to their shock, they found the man in the room. To save face, he immediately began pleading with the public to release him, and not embarrass him since he has a wife.

 “An gi dhako asau kik unjawa, weya uru adhi e oda ok achak atim tim kamae (Please forgive me, I’m a married man, don’t embarrass me and I will never repeat such an act again),” the man pleaded.

An agitated older man in the crowd while admonishing the sugar daddy, slammed parents and accused them of laxity in their parenting.

“Three days after finishing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), some parents don’t care about the whereabouts of their children?

“Some parents need to get serious. It’s time parents whose children haven’t showed up since finishing KCSE started knocking on lodgings in their respective counties,” he hissed.

He further warned young girl against being enticed by small gifts from older men, out to exploit them — sexually.  Cornered to explain what she was doing in the lodging, the girl revealed that the man had lured her by promising to buy her gifts among them a phone worth ShI,500.

Sweet-talked

“Please don’t take us to the police, if my parents knew about this, they will kill me. This man paid my bus fare and sweet-talked me into this and promised to buy me a phone,” pleaded the girl.

The two were later released after persuading with the public to understand their respective predicaments at their homes. The embarrassment was enough punishment, or so the public thought.
