girl runs away from home

Residents of Masabo village in Kisii County were left in shock after a class seven girl told to her young siblings that she was tired of going to school and it was her time to get married.

Locals say a middle-aged man tricked the girl in question and eloped with her.

They said the girl’s parents have been warning Justine Magara to stop the illicit love affair in vain.

“Magara has been canned several times by community policing officials over the alleged illicit love affair with the schoolgirl but, he couldn’t hear. On Sunday he tricked the girl to pack all her belongings before they left home to an unknown place,” said Emmah Onsombi.

Amos Oganyo the girl’s father expressed his frustration over his daughter’s move.

“I have been working hard to ensure my daughter goes to school but, it seems she has been absorbed by earthly things,” he said.

The father appealed to local authorities to look for and arrest the man who is after ruining his daughter’s life.

The area assistant chief, Ochoni Amenyo, assured that already a search has been launched to arrest the man.

“Men should marry mature women. Schoolgirls should be respected and given humble time to learn,” said the chief.
