According to a statement by the Directorate of Criminal Investigation, the duo were arrested on Friday 15th October, 2021 by DCI’s Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Protection Unit (AHT&CPU) detectives, acting on a tip-off reported anonymously through the DCI hotline.

“The anonymous call from a curious member of the public, reported of a miraculous baby boy born to a village woman who, unlike the biblical Mary mother of Jesus, was never seen carrying a pregnancy,” the statement read.

“Equally awed, detectives manning the DCI hotline centre alerted their ever ready AHT&CPU counterparts, who immediately swung into action by dispatching a team to Kakamega’s Matete area on a fact finding mission on October 14

“A day of scrupulous search in Matete area bore fruits when the 1st suspect (Judith) was spotted at her home lulling “her” bundle of joy

“The mother of four older children could hardly stand the presence of her unwelcome visitors, but her husband, with whom she has had no child over their marriage period, invited the detectives’ probe into the case

“In what would lead to the unearthing of an underworld of dreaded child traffickers who preyed on voiceless young mothers, Judith’s husband revealed that he hadn’t been aware his wife was pregnant, until she appeared holding a day-old toddler that she wouldn’t breastfeed

“Further, the birth notification provided by Judith had been altered using a white out, and the parents’ names entered by hand using a ball pen

“Persistent that she had been pregnant and that her ample proportions concealed it, detectives took the suspect to Webuye County Hospital for forensic medical examination, where three different tests conducted gave negative results of her having been pregnant

following a DNA tests which was conducted at a different hospital in Kisumu the suspects allegation was contradicted. Judith who had no choice opened up to the detectives, revealing a second suspect who happens to be her aunt Florence.

Immediatly investigations were carried out to Kikuya village in Vihiga and there the 67-year-old was also arrested.

Thorough interrogations on the duo established that Judith had called Florence earlier in the year, asking her to find ways of getting her a baby

Florence, who was privy to a case of an expectant 17-year-old girl living with her grandmother at Vihiga’s Kaimosi area, offered to help

She (Florence) had then approached the girl with a job offer as a househelp in Nairobi, which the helpless minor accepted at once

Connecting her to a family living in Kajiado’s Ongata Rongai area, Florence warned the young girl not to reveal to any of her relatives that she was expectant, before instructing the girl’s employer to release the girl back to her as soon as she was due for labor

As agreed, the orphan girl had been picked by Florence 10 days to her delivery date, who stayed with her for the period before taking her to Vihiga Health Centre on Sept 8 where Judith appeared, tendering her till she gave birth to a baby boy.

It was in the process of collecting the documents on behalf of the young mother that Judith, who was hell-bent to steal the baby, altered the documents before disappearing with the baby as her aunt took the girl in circles as to the whereabouts of the born child

“Threatened with dire consequences if she told anyone, the girl has had to live with the pain, until our detectives struck on Friday. Over the weekend, the girl was united with her baby boy, before the two were taken for medical care and rescued to safety,” the statement read.

Bond ruling will be made on Monday 25th October, 2021.
Meanwhile, further investigations are ongoing including pursuit of the man behind the girl’s pregnancy.
