A suspected paedophile was taken into custody in Nakuru after recording himself defiling children and saving the footage on his cell phone. Along with filming kids taking off their clothes, the 42-year-old suspect sold the footage to other people online.

Investigations by the police showed that the suspect was enlisting the help of other young people, whom he paid just Sh500 to entice victims in the city estates of Nakuru.

The suspect allegedly admitted to being attracted to young girls and taking pleasure in selling recordings online for Sh9,500 each, according to the police.

The 13-year-old girl was kidnapped on Monday with the help of two other girls, both of whom were underage, and they led her to the apartment in the Naka estate.

This led to the suspect's arrest. According to Mohammed Wako, the commander of the Nakuru County Police, the suspect is being held with five girls, all of whom are underage
