Police in Limuru arrested a 30-year-old man on Friday after he allegedly impregnated a minor.
The suspect, Charles Njau who is a shopkeeper in town, is reported to have had an affair with the girl for six months.
Parents of the young girl said that she refused to go back to school asking she be allowed to cohabit with the suspect.
Mercy Wairimu, the mother of the girl, said she noted something was amiss with her daughter.
“I took her for a pregnancy test which turned positive,” the mother said.
The mother could not hold back her temper as she blamed the suspect saying that he is a shopkeeper she has trusted for many years as a family friend.
Confirming the incident, Limuru OCPD SSP Mohammed Bakuli said casaes of defilement are a major menace in the region.
“The law is very strict with men who conduct this crime and I call upon residents to report such cases,” Bakuli said.
