Police Launch a Manhunt for the ‘Soldier’ In Viral Picture of Two Girls Getting Sexually Abused

Over the last week, Kenyans have been calling on the authorities to intercede after photos of two little girls getting sexually abused went viral.

Thanks to social media, the two girls have been identified and the police have launched a manhunt for the culprit who is alleged to be a soldier in Zimbabwe, something which the army has denied.

The national police spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba said this to members of the press “We have managed to identify two of the children in the pictures but we cannot divulge their identity as they are protected by law. We also are not in a position to give any information about their location or age at the moment. A key informant gave us all this information, the informant managed to give us good leads.”

“We are now hunting for the culprit and we have stakeholders and other people who are assisting in identifying him and soon we will have him in hopefully,” she said before asking their parents to monitor their children to prevent them from falling prey to abusers.

“I am appealing to parents and guardians to monitor minor children closely all the time. They have to observe any suspicious behaviour that they may exhibit because that is when they can hear of cases of abuse. Again parents must make an effort to be close to their children so that if any abuse is happening the child may confide in them, they open up more if you have a close relationship with them.” she said.
