According to sources, the KCPE candidate at went missing from her home in Kapcheserem village in Bartolimo sub-location since Sunday.
“Police conducted a house-to house search with the help of area residents and they finally bumped into the girl inside the house of the suspect.” Kapteberewo location chief Isaac Chemjor said.
Baringo North Criminal Investigation Officer (CID) Andolo Munga confirmed the arrest saying officers were still carrying out with investigations.
“We were today able to arrest and take the girl together with the suspect for a medical check up and pregnancy test at Baringo County Referral Hospital in Kabarnet.” Munga said adding that the suspect is currently being detained at Kabarnet police station waiting to be arraigned in court next week to face sexual offense charges.
Kitibei primary school head teacher David Chepkwony said the girl is a frequent absentee among the 35 registered KCPE candidates in the school.
“She is among four notorious girls who were punished in presence of their parents in school on May… it is like her three colleagues have reformed because she is the only one I am getting bad reports about this holiday” Chepkwony said.
He blamed the misbehavior of the teenage girls on the rogue boda boda youths who entice them with high-tone music and some small cash to lure them into illicit premature relationships.
“Most of them in their adolescent stage feel excited with the music the boda bodas operators play while in their business, so they end up falling for them” Chepkwony said.
