A pastor is being held at Lumakanda Police after defiling a minor in Lugari District.

According to the nine year old girl, the pastor (name withheld) who administers at African Miracle Church at Shivembe village in Musembe sub location has been defiling her for some time in his house threatening to harm her if she ever revealed.

However, unable to condone the behaviour, the standard three girl at Musembe Primary school decided to confide it to one of her teachers who decided to take her to a nearby hospital for a medical examination where it was proved she had indeed been defiled.

The Good Samaritan teacher informed police officers at Lumakanda Police Station who later on closed in on the pastor and arrested him.

Musembe sub location assistant chief Mr. Richard Etale confirmed the incident adding that the defiler will be arraigned at an Eldoret law court tomorrow (Monday).
