A 58-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly defiling his seven-year-old granddaughter.
Confirming the incident on Tuesday, Kiboko Sub-chief Angeline Mutua, said the girl's mother had left her in the care of her grandfather, when the incident allegedly occurred.
The sub-chief said it took the intervention of the Community Policing officers and Nyumba Kumi members to save the suspect, identified as Nganda Kiamba, from the wrath of a mob that wanted to lynch him.
The girl was taken to Donyo Sabuk Dispensary while the suspect is being held at Donyo Sabuk Police Station as he awaits his arraignment.
Mutua advised parents to be wary of the people they leave their kids with in a bid to curb cases of defilement.
