Shock and outrage have engulfed Bochari in Kisii County after a man was allegedly caught red-handed having an illicit affair with his own daughter in a local lodging.
The disturbing incident, which has since gone viral on social media, drew the attention of angry residents who could not believe such an act could happen in their community.
According to eyewitnesses, the two were spotted entering the lodging in a suspicious manner, prompting concerned locals to follow them and alert others.
Upon being busted in the act, chaos broke out as residents descended on them with fury. The father and daughter were dragged outside and publicly shamed, with some elders from the area expressing deep disappointment over what they termed a moral decay of the highest order.
“This is beyond shameful,” one elderly resident lamented. “How can a father commit such an abomination with his own blood? This is a disgrace to our traditions and a stain on the moral values of our people.”
The community emphasized the need for such incidents to serve as a harsh lesson, especially for the youth and the wider society, urging families to uphold strong moral standards.
Following the incident, the man reportedly fled the area and his whereabouts remain unknown. Efforts by the local administration to trace him have been unsuccessful.
His daughter, whose identity has been withheld for protection, has since been taken in by authorities for counseling and further investigations.
Police have launched an inquiry into the matter as leaders call for the strengthening of community structures that promote moral education and address hidden cases of abuse and immorality.
The incident continues to be the subject of heated debate across Kisii County.
