Ngoto Boys High school closed indefinitely after inferno

By Antynet Ford

Ngoto Boys High school in Makueni has been indefinitely closed after fire razed and destroyed property of unknown value on Wednesday evening.

The 1500 irate students of the school went on a rampage at around 6pm

Nzaui Subcounty Director of Education John Musango said the school Board of Management closed the school on Thursday indefinitely.

“The students will be informed when to resume learning after the construction of a new dormitory where they can sleep.”  Musango said.

“I do not know the motive that led the students to go on a rampage. However, we shall know after the area subcounty criminal investigation officer completes investigations.” He added.

The dormitory that was burnt at Ngoto Boys High School housed 175 students.

Their valuables were razed in the inferno and nothing was salvaged from the raging fire.

The torching of the dormitory at the school is the second incident this year.

Efforts to speak to the principal were futile as the media was denied entry into the school.
