Bomet Pastor Arrested With ‘Missing’ Form Four Girl In Kisii On Their Way To Kisumu

 

A local preacher from Bomet County has been arrested with a 17-year-old Form Four student in Kisii while reportedly boarding a matatu on their way to Kisumu.

The minor, a student at Ngererit Secondary School in Bomet, had been reported missing by her kin at the Mogogosiek Police Station in the North Rift county.

Police officers pounced on the duo following a tip off from drivers operating Matatu Five Star Sacco at the Kisii bus terminal that they had spotted the 25-year-old pastor, Kipkoech Rotich, with the girl while boarding another vehicle headed for Kisumu.

Reports say the pastor had been invited to Ngererit Secondary School for sermons, and fled with the girl thereafter, and that they have been avoiding the police dragnet since then.
