On Sunday, students at Keveye Girls High School in Kenya went on the rampage to protest what they termed as the school management's failure to protect them from intruders.
According to the students, strangers believed to be men have been sneaking into their dormitories on several occasions at night, with some girls claiming to have been sexually assaulted by the intruders.
One student shouted, "We want to go home, we are being mistreated and even 'raped' at night yet the school principal and the deputy care less about our safety."
The students, fearing for their safety, converged at the school pitch and demanded to be allowed to go home, but the school management was reluctant to let them out.
As a result, the students started throwing stones, shuttering windows, and damaging CCTV cameras installed in the school.
