A bus conductor on Wednesday, June 2, saved a teenage girl from a sex predator after she boarded their bus plying Nairobi-Mombasa route to meet a man he had contact with on Facebook. According to the conductor of the Executive Bus company, they were forced to accommodate the teenage girl at their Mombasa office and return her to Machakos before reporting the matter to the police. After failing to settle the bus fare, the conductor became suspicious and called the stranger the girl had introduced as a brother asking him to come to the bus stop for the girl and settle the remaining Sh1000. Later on, the girl confessed that the man whom she was about to meet was not her brother but a stranger with whom they had only established contact through Facebook. “The bus company provided accommodation for the teenager and a bus ride back to Machakos Junction, where she had boarded their bus the previous day,” said DCI.
