NAIROBI, Feb 9 – THE SON of a former politician is suing the Catholic Church for years of sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of missionary priests in seminaries here in Kenya and in the UK.
Emmanuel Shikuku, the son of Martin Shikuku, one of Kenya’s fiery and well known politician who died in 2012, is alleging he was sexually abused by several clerics as he was studying for the priesthood.
He also alleges that one of his abusers – he says they were 6 in total – was a former Bishop of the Ngong Diocese but who was removed a few years back after cases of abuse started to appear.
In an exclusive interview with The Saturday Standard, Mr Shikuku claims he was a victim of a series of rapes and other forms of abuse between 1978 and 1994.
