Makueni Deputy Governor Adelina Mwau has stormed Makueni police station accusing the County police administration over what she termed as laxity in combating defilement, sodomy among school boys and sexual harassment cases in the County.
In the recent incident, Mwau termed delay in arresting a man who had defiled, impregnated and secured an abortion to a class 8 girl to be uncalled for, telling the security team in Makueni to wake up in administering services to the residents.
Recently, several boys from Mtito-Andei primary school were sodomized and only one person has since been arrested while others are on the run.
“Security is a national government function and we want all security apparatus to wake up to the call. We are not going to take it anymore and I am going to mobilize women of this County and say no to such injustices,” Mwau said.
The abortion was reported to have been aided by another woman, a close relative to the girl.
According to the girl’s aunt, they reported the case to the Children’s department last week and then sent to Makueni police station where they were told to seek medical tests at Makueni referral hospital.
“We came to the police station and reported but we were told to seek for medical tests first. At the hospital, blood tests showed no results but a follow up scan examination showed the girl had an abortion,” she said.
The girl had revealed that she has been getting sexually abused by a farmhand in the home of her uncle where she stays since 2019. She however hinted that she had been getting served with abortion pills whenever she became pregnant but on this particular time it became worse where she profusely bled.
“The girl told me the man has been sexually abusing her since 2019. However, on this particular incident after the man realized she had become pregnant, he assisted by the wife to her uncle allegedly secured an abortion to the girl, something that almost killed her,” the aunt added.
Following the cry, Makueni police commander on Friday morning through a widely shared police report indicated that they had arrested two suspects, the farmhand and the wife to the victim’s uncle.
