Police in Nairobi have arrested a man they say is a paedophile and leader of a gang of child rapists.
He was seized at a photo studio where he had gone to have pictures of naked children and of himself processed.
The management of the studio called the police and child protection activists on seeing the pictures.
He is being held at Industrial Area Police Station awaiting trial.
Investigations
The Nairobi Central police boss Tito Kilonzo said they were carrying out investigations to track down buyers of the pictures.
Police sources said on being interrogated over the photos, the suspected paedophile, who also runs a pharmacy in the city, said it was his hobby.
Nominated MP Millie Odhiambo (pictured) said the man should be made to reveal names of other suspects in Mukuru Kwa Njenga slum.
“The pictures reveal the underworld of child rape and trafficking. This is an opportunity to unmask the identity of the criminals and the poor parents being lured to expose their children to such heinous crimes,” she said.
The pictures, which the Nation has seen, show torture, mutilation and sexual abuse of children.
Was warned
The suspect, who was described by the studio owners in Hurlingham as a frequent customer, initially brought photographs of naked old women, but was warned.
