Police raided an apartment in Ruaka on Tuesday busting underage girls brothel in a 3 bedroom house by the proprietors. The brothel is linked to ousted CS, Rashid Echesa.
Police said among the teenagers rescued was a student who had disappeared from a secondary school two months ago.
According to police investigations, a Form Two student at a school in Kiambu, was recruited to the trade by a friend who lured her with the promise of making money. The girl escaped from school last month and was led to the apartment where she was promised Sh10,000 every day.
Police says she was taken to the apartment in Ruaka where she was greeted to prostitution with Sh5,000 and Sh10,000 a day for her services.
The girl told the cops that her contract was revised and she was to receive 25 per cent of the payment while 75 per cent be pocketed by the operators.
According to the girl, she would entertain close to 10 men a day. At times she visited the homes of her clients for a night of pleasure filled with lots of food and alcoholic drinks of their choice.
The Police has been investigating the disappearance of children from secondary schools in Kiambu, this bust comes as a win for the State. In the raid, the cops recovered sex toys imported illegally into the country and for use in the sex parties by minors.
Karuri DCI officers found 10 girls locked in the house with some in bed with clients. The investigators, who posed as clients, were informed that another group of 20 girls had been relocated from the house to a brothel in Mombasa.
The apartment goes for 60K per month and amongst other things confiscated by Police were unused condoms and sex toys.
Police rescued the girls and arrested three suspects including a 44-year-old man believed to be the brothel manager. Patrons who were found at the brothel were also arrested but later released on a Sh 1 Million cash bail.
The investigations into the child prostitution in the crib allegedly owned by the fired former CS Rashid Echesa—who has also been linked to Mumia 42 brothers killing— are ongoing. Those arrests face a huge jail term from the 10 sexual offences before them.
