Police in Kitui, Kenya, have launched a manhunt for a pastor accused of impregnating at least 20 girls in the area.
According to reports, the cleric allegedly used his position to take advantage of the minors, claiming he was praying for them to pass their 2019 KCPE exams.
More than 10 girls were rescued from rental houses neighboring the pastor's house after one of the parents stormed the clergyman's house, seeking answers about their missing daughter.
Many girls have since dropped out of school in Kitui due to the pastor's disgraceful acts, which have shocked residents.
The pastor's wife was arrested and is assisting detectives with investigations, but the cleric himself remains on the run.
Police in Kitui have launched a thorough investigation into the matter, and the public is urged to come forward with any information that may lead to the pastor's capture.
