School closed after teacher molests seven

Njoro Girls High school was on Sunday closed after students went on the rampage accusing a Kiswahili teacher for allegedly molesting seven girls sexually.

The students were sent home following tension that had piled up after students accused the teacher of molesting them, even taken selfies with some students while they were half naked.

Some of the girls claimed that he forced them to take cookies, juice and vodka as he caressed them.

He was arrested two days ago after form three students demanded that he be removed from the school for molesting the girls, a claim he denied saying that he was being framed for being too close to the students.

The school principal Wanjiku Wanderi confirmed the incident and said that the matter had been reported to her but she could not take immediate action owing to time constraints.

Wanderi added that the seven girls recorded statements with the police in Njoro.

This indeed is a sad state of affairs due to the fact that parents and guardians entrust the lives and well being of their children to teachers and other trained personnel to take care of their children awayy from home.

I hope more stringent measures will be taken so as to deter those who already have such beahaviours and also those who would want to start.
