Five arrested over dormitory fire at Kebabe Secondary School

Police are holding four students and a watchman in connection with a Tuesday morning inferno that destroyed a dormitory housing 114 students at Kebabe SDA Mixed Secondary in Bokimonge, Kenyenya, Kisii County.

Kenyenya sub-county police boss Meza Gumbo said the fire broke out at around 5 a.m. as students went for morning preps.

Gumbo said the arrested boys will aid in investigations behind the inferno even as he condemned the rise in cases of school fires in the region.

Recently, a dorm at Nyakoiba High School also went up in flames.
