Teachers caught in lodging with pupils after leaving school games

Police have launched a hunt for two male teachers who were allegedly caught engaging in sexual acts with pupils at a lodging in Kisii County.

The two suspects were reportedly found in a comprising situation with the minors in two separate rooms at Balozi Bar in Nyamache town, Bobasi Constituency.

According to education officials from the county, the pair had taken the pupils out for a sports competition at a neighbouring school in Kisii and were returning to their school when they allegedly lured the minors to the bar.

Speaking to Citizen Digital on phone, area OCPD Japhet Mwirichia said, “We are on their trails and soon they will be in custody.”

The school head teacher said the girls were part of a larger team that had gone to represent their school in a sports competition.

He added that the pair, who teach Mathematics and Social Studies in Class 8, have not reported for duty since the incident.

The County Education Director in the county said the teachers had since been interdicted in absentia, further warning of stern action against sex pests.

“We have already blacklisted their names and once they are arrested they will face the law,” he said.
