On October 2, 2019, a Form 2 student at Forest Hill Secondary in Subukia was rushed to the hospital after being severely injured in an incident involving hot uji.
According to reports, the student was scalded by a fellow student, and the extent of her injuries is still unclear.
She was initially taken to Topcare Dispensary before being transferred to Nakuru Level Five hospital due to the severity of her injuries.
