Outrage as man caught performing sexual act with student in public

The public beat up a man and handed him over to the police after he was caught kissing a schoolgirl in a hotel on Thursday evening.

An eyewitness said the man was attacked when he spotted caressing the secondary school girl.

“I was taking lunch at the hotel. When I turned around, I saw the man trying to undress the school girl. As a parent, I got concerned and raised the alarm,” said Michael Sankiriaki, a resident.

Sankiriaki claimed the two had picked a dark corner of the hotel that was, at the time, deserted. “Wananchi responded to my shouts and two police officers arrested the suspect,” he said.

Local police chief Adan Yunis said the man will be arraigned in court to face charges. The girl was said to be returning to school for the second term.

There has been alarm in the area over school dropouts and teenage pregnancies.
