A head teacher of a private school in Seregeya, Turbo has been arrested for allegedly defiling an underage girl and a former pupil at the school.
Philip Wesonga, a 33-year-old teacher at Canaan Royal School was arrested following the Sunday incident where it has been alleged that he defiled the girl, who just completed class eight in the same school a month ago.
Confirming the incident, area Chief Charles Banda and his assistant Diana Owano have condemned the action and have since pressured the Police to act fast.
"This is not something that we expect from a teacher. He is supposed to serve as a role model to the young kids," said Owano.
Wesonga is now in the custody of Turbo Police officers and will be arraigned in court immediately after investigations.
Turbo OCS has said that justice will be done, and there is no need to worry.
Drama unfolded when the teacher called the girl to school to pick her box that she left behind after the exams. However, according to Diana, the girl went with her two friends. The teacher then followed the three girls into the dormitory and ordered the two to leave and wait from the staffroom.
The girl's parents have been saddened by the incident and all they want is justice to prevail.
The PTA chairlady Anne Manyololi has also condemned the act saying this is not the first time she is hearing the allegations.
"These cases have been there in the air. I have tried to talk to the school director but he has always dismissed the stories," said Manyololi.
This comes barely six months after a 37-year-old teacher at the same school was alleged to be having a love affair with a 12-year old class six pupil. However, the teacher left the school under unclear circumstances.
