Published on August 16, 2019, a group of 30 minors, comprising 19 girls and 11 boys, were arrested in a dawn swoop at Robi Club in Kehancha town, Migori County.
The minors were found to be engaging in a wild party, consuming alcohol and engaging in sex, which had been a recurring issue in the area.
Residents had complained about the disturbance, with some stating that some of the revelers were as young as 12 years old.
‘The club is notorious for wild parties with underage revelers drinking alcohol and engaging in sex, and most often, we wake up to vandalism and used condoms littering the area,’ said Alice Mwita, a resident.
Amos Murimi, the owner of the premise, and a disc jockey, Victor Ocharo, were also arrested.
The suspects were held at Kehancha and Isebania police stations due to their large number.
‘Some will be arraigned in court on Friday and others later on Monday as we try to investigate and establish their ages,’ said Migori county Director of Criminal Investigations Njeru Nyaga.
