Thomas Fisher Secondary School in Sultan Hamud, Makueni county has become an institutions of students only, after teachers fled the school in fear of their own pupils.
Around 20 teachers fearing for their lives have left the institution, following incidents of students violence- directed towards them.
Quite the unusual sight, students in the school have been left to personal revision, under the careful watch of armed police officers.
The attacks are said to have taken place around June 11 and 12.
A group of students, with majority said to constitute of form fours attacked teachers with hockey sticks, causing serious injuries.
Confirming the attacks, school head teacher- Paul Ameso narrated the unusual attacks to The Star.
On June 11, a group of students attacked the school’s head of discipline Maragua Nyagah, robbed him of money and destroyed his car.
They laid in ambush the next day and attacked him using hockey sticks, as he left a class he had been teaching.
The headteacher went to his rescue and suffered the same fate- the two were beaten unconscious.
While Ameso suffered a broken hand, Nyaga sustained serious head injuries and a broken collar bone.
Consequently, the board of management closed down the school.
The students were later allowed to resume studies on June 14.
Rumors of suspended students planning another attack on teachers, however, caused panic and the teachers have not gone back to the school- as it poses threat to their very lives.
This is perhaps one of the most daring antics in what seems to be a series of bizarre unrest by students from all over the country.
On Saturday night, five dormitories were razed to the ground after students at Stephjoy High school set mattresses ablaze using potassium permanganate.
