Man Arrested in Knightdale Rape Case | Raleigh News

A thirty-year-old man from Knightdale, Fred Samson Onyango Nafukho, is in custody facing second-degree rape charges after an incident on Saturday — arrested just days later. His arrest comes amid a troubling pattern: he’s repeatedly missed court dates in a prior sexual battery case, leading to his attorney dropping the charges in 2025 due to unpaid fees. Though those charges were dismissed, prosecutors can reinstate them. Nafukho remains jailed without bail as details of the current case remain sparse — but his history of legal evasion is now front and center in this high-stakes case.
