KENYA: Students of Itiero Boys High School in Suneka, Kisii county on Saturday night, June 25 went berserk destroying school facilities including burning of 7 dorms.

The unruly students also blocked the Kisii-Migori road and pelted stones at anyone who dared to go near the school.

The incident took a turn for the worse when fire fighters were blocked by the rioting students as they tried to access the school to contain the fire.

Anti-riot police officers had to be called to disperse the rioting students who had already torched seven dormitories at the school.

According to the police, all hell broke loose when Itiero Boys High School administration denied the students a chance to watch the ongoing Euro 2016 football tournament.

Aside from the dormitories that went up in flames, the school incurred other losses as students also vandalised the dining hall and laboratory as well as raiding the principal’s office.
