A 33-year-old man has been arrested in The Hague in connection with the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl in July. The girl, known as Nsimire, disappeared after leaving a friend’s house in The Hague, where she had spent the night, on July 28.

The teenager was found in The Hague in good health on Wednesday following a tip-off. The man is suspected of sheltering the girl during her disappearance and was arrested shortly after Nsimire was found.

Police have given few details about the case and say they plan to talk more to the girl in the coming days in a bid to find out what happened.

‘We will ask her about why she disappeared, where she has been for the past few weeks and what has been going on,’ police said in a statement. ”A lot is unclear and needs to be investigated.’

Nsimire’s family mounted a major search operation to try to find the girl after she vanished. The police had refused to issue an Amber Alert, saying they did not consider the girl was in imminent danger.

‘The family are furious that an adult was involved,’ family friend Alphonse Muambi told the Telegraaf. ‘Perhaps something happened to her, but we are waiting for the police investigation.’

The police have also called on people who circulated photos of the girl while she was missing to remove them from websites
