The senior citizen identified as Jumanne Ikungi is said to have been luring pupils with candy, sugarcane and other gifts before abusing them.
Mkonoo’s headmaster Lucian Monino told the media that they had started to note a pattern of absenteeism among some students who were later found to keep the company of Jumanne.
“After the absence we started an investigation and found out that there are many pupils who end up at an elderly man identified as Jumanne where they were being abused,” Monino was on Wednesday quoted by The Citizen as saying.
“We interrogated them and they confessed to being abused while going to madrasas and to the house of the old man who lives alone,” he added.
Arusha District Commissioner Said Mtanda confirmed he had confirmed the incident after interrogating parents, teachers and pupils.
“I have instructed the pupils to continue to be examined in hospitals and madrasas and to be detained by the police until the investigation is completed,” said Mtanda.
