According to Bomokora Chief in Kisii South Sub-county, Benson Mosumari the teacher identified as Elkanah Matoke allegedly defiled a class seven girl at his home in Iyabe area on Sunday.

"The parents of the defiled girl reported the case to me on Monday and in help with the area police we took the girl to Iyabe Sub-county hospital where the medic proved that she had been defiled," said Mosumari.

The chief added that the teacher has denied the allegations and that's why he is being held at Gesonso police and he will be arraigned in court on Friday.

Mosumaru called upon locals to report any crime to him or police as that will reduce crime that has been on the rise for the last few months.
