A 70year old LC2 Vice chairman in Lwambogo parish, Bungokho Sub County in Mbale district is on the run for allegedly defiling and impregnating a 13 year old Mbale Minor.
The suspect has been identified as Wilson Sikanga, a resident of Bumweru Upper Village, Bungokho Sub County in Mbale district.
Mbale Police in Bungokho Sub County says Sikanga reportedly dragged the victim whose names have been withheld to his house, closed the door and defiled her. Police says, the suspect then repeatedly continued defiling the minor several times until she conceived.
A source from the community says that the victim was being defiled by this suspect since last year when she was only 12years old and now she is 3 months pregnant.
