Police officer on the run after he allegedly defiled minor in custody at Kaptumo Police Station.
Detectives in Nandi South are pursuing a police officer, who is suspected of defiling a minor at Kaptumo Police Station.
The preliminary investigation by the police indicates that the suspect, a constable was on duty when the incident occurred between 12 am and 2 am on Sunday.
The minor was one of three female inmates who had been brought to the station by her parents for disciplinary action.
According to Nandi County Police Commander Peter Njogu, the accused officer took a 16-year-old girl out of her cell before defiling her.
“Some of the officers, who were on duty, were out for regular patrol and the officer was left on the booking desk. While taking roll call in the cells, the suspect lured the detainee out of the cell and defiled her in the booking office,” he claimed.

When the police officers returned to the station hours later, the female detainees reported what transpired, which prompted a swift investigation.
The victim’s parents were summoned and the minor taken to Kaptumo Health Centre for medical examination.
“The medical outcome shows that the minor was defiled and we are pursuing the suspected officer. He disappeared shortly after the incident was unearthed, and he will be taken to court once arrested,” said Mr Njogu.
He further said that the minor has been released to go for treatment as the investigation continues.
