Police in Siaya County have launched a manhunt for a man accused of impregnating his daughter.
The man who is a bodaboda operator allegedly defiled his class six daughter at Wambusa village in Gem Sub County.
The incident and the search operation was confirmed by Akala Police Station OCS Jared Nyaosi.
The matter was raised by her teachers who observed her health was deteriorating, after which they summoned her mother to school.
After conducting tests, the 16-year-old girl was found to be pregnant and implicated her father as the responsible man, reports Citizen Digital.
The man reportedly began defiling the girl when she was in class two.
In June last year, a retired bishop was arrested over similar charges in North Sakwa Location, after he reportedly defiled a 14-year-old girl who he was living with.
The matter was brought out by the class eight girl after she reported it to a local children's home, claims that were confirmed after a medical test.
The girl was then moved to another house to prevent any contact with the 66-year-old priest to prevent possible manipulation of the investigations.
