Lenana School Closed Following Violent Unrest
Lenana School has been closed indefinitely following a severe outbreak of student unrest that resulted in horrific injuries and massive property destruction. Administration officials and local authorities stepped in to shut down the institution to prevent further escalation.
Student Pushed from Second Floor
The violence reached a terrifying peak when a student was pushed from the second floor of a dormitory. The victim suffered a broken spine and was rushed for emergency medical attention. Authorities are currently investigating the incident as a criminal act.
Principal Attacked and Cameras Destroyed
Morgan Bahati, who witnessed the horrific moments leading to the closure, detailed the chaos. According to Bahati, the rioting students targeted the school administration directly.
“A student was pushed from the 2nd floor akavunjika spine, they threw stones to the principal and switched off the CCTV and broke them, walikua wamejifunika kama AlShabaab!” Bahati explained.
The attackers reportedly masked their faces to conceal their identities, moving systematically to disable and destroy the school’s security cameras before turning their aggression toward the principal.

This incident adds to a growing list of violent student protests affecting the Kenyan education sector. Education stakeholders are calling for stricter security measures and better conflict resolution frameworks within secondary schools.
