KENYA: MOI GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL, NAIROBI CLOSED AFTER RAPE INCIDENT

 
AS PER THE CITIZEN DIGITAL, Moi Girls High School, Nairobi has been closed for a week a day after a student was raped in one of the hostels.

Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed made the announcement on Sunday morning after holding a second meeting with the school management at the institution.
The CS held another meeting that ran late into Saturday night as parents stormed the school last evening demanding to go home with their children.

The parent’s demands were, however, refused with the management insisting that the students would be allowed to leave on Sunday morning when it is safe.
It is alleged that a Form 2 girl was assaulted and raped while going to the washrooms at around 2am. She is said to have been attacked by three men who had made their way into the dormitory under unclear circumstances.


Parents arrived at the school as early as 5am to pick their children.

Armed police officers have been deployed at the school to provide security.

Kilimani O CPD Michael Muchiri says the officers will be stationed at the school until ongoing investigations are completed.

So far, no suspect have been arrested but Mr Muchiri says the descriptions given by the girls who saw the attacker have given detectives a clue.

Yesterday, parents flocked the institution demanding to take home their children after they were informed of rape incident.
