A 50-year-old assistant chief in Mukurwe-ini Police Station is being held by police at the Mukurwe-ini constituency following his arrest on Monday for allegedly impregnating a 15-year-old school girl who is a student at Karundu Secondary School.
According to the girl's father Peterson Gathogo, the daughter has since gone missing after she was told by the teachers to report the matter of pregnancy to police.
