On Tuesday, a Nairobi-based man was sentenced to 60 years in prison for defiling a two-year-old child.

Alianda Atseka, the accused, appeared in Kibera Law Courts and was charged with two counts of defilement and committing an indecent act with a child.

The offenses were committed by Atseka on July 25, 2022, according to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).

He allegedly lured the minor to his house by pretending to buy candy for him.
