How a stranger accessed a school and raped some girls in the dead of night is the question parents, teachers and detectives are asking themselves after Moi Girls School found itself in the news for the wrong reasons again. By the time of going to press, there was controversy over the exact number of girls raped on Friday night, with conflicting reports placing it as either one or three. Also unclear is whether the act took place at 12 midnight or 5.00am yesterday morning. It also emerged that the school had asked the students to keep quiet about the rape incident, which managed to keep it under wraps until evening when the news broke out. Students said they had been asked to go to class and go on with their normal activities. They said they were instructed not to talk about the incident. “We have been told to act as if it is a normal day. We haven’t been told anything and we are really traumatised. We cant go to the hostels,” one of the students said last night. “We are really shocked the school told us that we were spreading fake news,” lamented another student. Kilimani OCPD Michael Muchiri said they were still pursuing some leads and could not comment on the matter. “We are still following some leads and the school administration is cooperating in the investigation,” he said. “Probably we will get more information so that we can establish the truth of these allegations and the depth of the issues at hand. As we get more information we will be able to brief you but right now this the only thing we can tell you,” he said. Detectives from Kilimani police station and Nairobi County police headquarters have been assembled to investigate the shocking incident. Those in the know say one of the issues detectives are probing is whether the rapist was an outsider or whether the act was carried out by someone who works within the school. Yesterday, students held protests within the school demanding protection. Among the items collected by detectives from the scene of crime was a buibui thought to have been dropped by the rapist. There were claims that the rapist was dressed as a woman to avoid detection. A meeting between the school administration and the board yesterday agreed to send the students home today morning. Distraught parents camped outside the school as news broke, demanding to know whether their children were safe. Some of them were asking to take their daughters home, but the school’s administration stuck to their guns. The parents were finally let in shortly after 8.00pm and ushered into a meeting with the school administration that went on late into the night. Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed, Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang and Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris arrived at the school a few minutes before 9pm and joined in the meeting. At some point, there was a scuffle between the police and the parents who were insisting they would not go home without their children. One of the parents whose daughter was affected in a fire incident at the school in September last year said he was very traumatised.
