The police report indicates he was arrested after a tip-off from area assistant chief Adeline Zighe.
Police say medical reports from Wesu Hospital show the child was sexually assaulted.
The case comes in the wake of rising cases of sexual assault and gender-based violence in the region.
The wave of crime has contributed to a surge in early pregnancies among school-going girls.
Last week, county commissioner Rodah Onyancha said a large number of girls might fail to report back to school as a result.
The administrator blamed the rising cases on parental negligence.
Onyancha told chiefs and their assistants they will be held responsible for early pregnancies in their areas.
