A Mombasa court in Kenya, arraigned a pharmacist, Amos Nzioki, on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, for allegedly inducing an ab*rtion on a 15-year-old girl.
It was alleged that he helped the minor who had conceived through defilement, secure an ab*rtion on June 3, 2023. The matter was reported by the minor's parents after the ab*rtion procedure was confirmed by doctors at Coast General Hospital.
"The girl’s guardian reported the incident to the police after the ab*rtion was confirmed on examination by doctors," part of the statement read. Police have since launched a manhunt for the man accused of defiling and impregnating the minor.
Nzioki pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on a Ksh300,000 bond with one surety of a similar amount or a cash bail of Ksh200,000.
