Ten KCSE students from Anestar Bahati Boys in Nakuru are being held by the police after they broke into a girl’s dormitory in the nearby Anestar Precious Girls secondary school.
According to Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti, the boys whose mission still remains unclear sneaked out of their school in their numbers and gained access to the girls’ dormitory under the cover of darkness.

The boys whose mission still remains unclear had sneaked out of their school in their numbers and gained access to the girls’ dormitory under the cover of darkness” they tweeted.
He added that officers from Githioro Police Station responded swiftly and rushed to the school after the girls raised alarm. But not even the arrival of their men would scare away the defiant boys who kept hovering around the dormitory
Students forced one of the officers to fire around in the air to scare them away. Officers managed to arrest 10 of them, as others escaped in the dead of the night. The arrested were placed in custody at Dundori Patrol Base, pending further action.
Yesterday, another KCSE candidate in Kiambu county ran away from an examination center destroying a police vehicle in the process.
According to a police report seen, the incident occurred at Karigu-ini Mixed Secondary School when the student refused to be frisked before starting the exam paper of the day which was CRE Paper 1.
The officer manning the exam center noted that the student did not have a face mask and upon questioning the boy, he got confrontational. The boy is alleged to have hurled abusive words at the officer causing a commotion.
The scene disrupted the examination preparation exercise for a while with another officer walking into the room to find out what was happening.
When the other officer got to the examination room, the student fled. On his way out of the compound, he is reported to have picked up a stone and hit the windscreen of a police land cruiser that was parked outside.
