A video of a school-going girl allegedly spotted with her boyfriend a few metres from her home in Homa Bay County has sparked heated debate online, with many social media users expressing concern over the growing cases involving teenagers and relationships.
In the viral clip circulating online, the girl is seen dressed in a school uniform and shoes, while covering her head with a marvin.
The young man believed to be her boyfriend is heard speaking to her moments before they part ways after school.
At one point in the video, the man is allegedly heard asking the girl to return so they could continue spending time together, a statement that has since triggered mixed reactions among Kenyans online.
While some social media users called for authorities to investigate the incident and arrest the man, others warned adults against engaging in relationships with school-going girls, reminding them of the serious legal consequences involved.
Several online users argued that men should stay away from underage girls, noting that the law provides heavy punishment for anyone found guilty of engaging in inappropriate relationships with minors.
The incident has once again raised concerns among parents and education stakeholders over the safety of school-going children, especially during holidays and after-school hours when many students spend time away from parental supervision.
The viral video comes just days after another family in Ngong appealed to the public for help in tracing their daughter who reportedly disappeared after leaving home with an alleged boyfriend.
According to the girl’s father, Paul Ndeti, his daughter Beatrice left home on March 22, 2026, during the midterm school break and never returned to school.
The distressed father claimed that the 21-year-old was later allegedly spotted wandering around the Mathare and Ngong areas in the company of a man believed to be her boyfriend.
Speaking through local media, the family said they have been unable to continue with their normal daily activities due to stress and worry caused by the mysterious disappearance of their loved one.
