A police officer was at the weekend arrested over claims of defilement at Kware slums, Nairobi.
The officer was accused of locking a teenage girl and defiling her in his house on January 19.
The girl claimed she had gone to Kware police station to report a case where her employer had refused to pay her when she met the officer.
The officer told her to come back the following day when she met him at the report office while in uniform.
The girl told police the officer later took her to his house near the station and locked her there.
He then came home after duty and defiled her overnight.
She later reported the matter at the local station prompting the action.
Police termed the incident isolated and promised action against the officer.
The girl was taken to the hospital for tests as part of the probe into the incident.
