The arrest follows in the wake of DPP Noordin Haji asking the DCI to investigate cases of teenage pregnancies and early marriages.
There were hundreds of such during the just-concluded KCPE and KCSE exams.
He said the probe will start with Kilifi county, which reported the highest number, and be extended to other parts of the country.
The Director of Public Prosecutions asked the DCI to forward the files on the same to his office for appropriate action. 
Haji said his office takes cases on children seriously adding that ODPP will work closely with the Judiciary and other agencies to expedite the cases.
