A nine year old girl at AIC Happy Kid Academy in Kabonyo Sub-location, East Kanyamwa Location in Ndhiwa Sub County was on Tuesday, 22^nd October rapped by an unknown man near a small shrub stream known as River Onyinjo.

“The young girl had gone to fetch water in the morning only to come back some minutes later with blood streaming down her tiny feet,” said the mother.

Explaining bitterly with tears now rolling down her cheeks, she continued, “My daughter told me that a young middle aged man lowered his cap to cover his face as she approached the water but with her deeper innocence she didn’t sense any danger. Just as she went past him did the man knock the pale off her head, clanged onto on her throat before dragging her into the bushes.”

The bitter community members who has responded to the desperate call of the woman, hunted for the unknown offender who was still at large in the nearby bushes in vein. Tensed and stressed, the woman rushed her daughter Ndhiwa Sub Hospital where she was stitched, treated and nursed for a couple of days. 

In the desperate search in the bushes, another reality hit the community members when they came to terms with uncountable number of used condoms some of which were still fresh. This was a clear sign that a number of sexual immoralities have been secretly going on in the scene of crime.

The matter was reported to the area chief and much is expected from the authorities by the villagers. Unrecorded statistics from the locals indicate that rape cases have been rampant in the region but so little have reported to the authorities and worse of it all the victim fail to visit to the medical centres for any support.

The latest reports have indicated that all the school going children, both at secondary and primary level are encouraged to avoid the old murram road that runs from Pala primary to Kenya police line and use the tarmac for their safety. So let all parents be warned.
