The office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations has warned parents and guardians of a new trend being used by sexual predators to prey on young girls. According to detectives, the predators are using their tricks to target the school-going girls and those who have just completed their secondary school education. They use the social media platforms of the targeted victims to obtain their personal information before they lure them into their trap. Therefore, upon reaching Samburu, the conductor called the man and tricked him that they had arrived in Mariakani,” DCI said. 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.
