The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has charged the Officer Commanding Lumakanda Police Station with defilement of a 14-year-old girl in Lugari Sub-County, Kakamega County.
The accused appeared before Senior Resident Magistrate Dorcas Mac’andere, where prosecution counsels Ian Makotsi and Prudence Lelei opposed his release on bail and bond.
He faces a charge of defilement contrary to Section 8(1), as read with Section 8(3), of the Sexual Offences Act No. 3 of 2006.
He also faces an alternative charge of committing an indecent act with a child contrary to Section 11(1), as well as a charge of abuse of a position of authority contrary to Section 24(2) of the Act.
The court heard that the alleged offences occurred between September 24 and 27, 2026, and involved a 14-year-old girl.
In opposing the bail and bond application, the prosecution argued that the alleged offences were serious in nature.
The accused was remanded in custody until October 1, 2026, when the court will determine the bond terms.
