Two boda boda riders arrested in Kisii over separate defilement cases

In the first case, 34-year-old Julius Onduso Kebwaro, a boda boda rider and chairman at Nyagusu stage, is accused of sexually assaulting and impregnating a 10-year-old girl whom he had reportedly taken in to care for.

According to police reports, the suspect allegedly defiled the minor, resulting in a pregnancy.

An attempt to terminate the pregnancy is said to have gone wrong, forcing the girl to be referred to the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital, where she underwent a premature cesarean section. Sadly, the infant died just hours after delivery.

The young girl is currently receiving treatment and counseling at the hospital as investigations continue.

Speaking to the press, Happiness Oirere from the Office of the Kisii County Woman Representative condemned the incident, calling for swift justice and stronger protection measures for minors.

In a separate case, another boda boda operator has been detained at Mosocho Police Station after allegedly impregnating a Grade 9 student.

According to the victim’s family, the suspect had been entrusted with transporting their daughter to and from school before he allegedly turned against her.
