The teacher told the girl’s father that her daughter had been spotted in their neighbours compound severally.

“Yesterday, I bumped into my child’s teacher, who informed me he had spotted her several times at my neighbour’s compound. At 4pm, I went to the said-couple’s house and found my girl,” said the father.

After finding her daughter, the class four pupil revealed to her dad that the couple, Mwalewa Kombe and his wife, rented a room for her where men would sleep with her in exchange for money.

Mwalewa Kombe and his wife were arrested and taken to Lunga Lunga police station for questioning after the girl’s father reported the matter.

Josphat Biwott, the Lunga Lunga Deputy County Commissioner, said that investigations have already been launched adding that they were looking for a prominent business man who paid to sleep with the girl.
