A woman reported to have converted a Muslim student to ‘Prophet’ David Owuor’s Repentance and Holiness ministry was on Monday charged with kidnap.

Ms Evelyn Awuor Omolo, a teacher by profession, is said to have converted the high school student to Christianity before allegedly kidnapping her.

Mr Michael Mulee, the lead investigator in the case, told a Nairobi court said that Ms Awuor hid the girl in her house last year for weeks during third term.

“This even led to the girl missing her classes in the better part of third term,” Mr Mulee told the Makadara court.

At the time she went missing, the minor was a student at Angels of Mercy School.

The court heard that she was transferred to three different schools by Ms Awuor during the period.

In her defence, the accused said that she opted to hide the girl after she explained to her that she was being mistreated at home.

“We met with her at the school that I was teaching, she had several physical injuries which prompted me to act as I did,” Ms Awuor told the court.

The girl’s parents told police that their daughter told them she had won a scholarship to complete her secondary school education.

Ms Awuor was released on a bail of Sh200, 000.
