Police arrest six teachers over disturbing video of pupils depicting indecent behavior in Kisii
Police have arrested six teachers following a viral video that circulated online portraying minors engaging in indecent behavior.
According to a police report, the footage was traced to Itumbe DOK primary school in Nyamache, Bobasi constituency.
According to police, the six; Everline Moraa, Gladys Kenyanya, Angelicia Joseph, Moraa Nyairo, Cathrine Mokaya and William Isoka, were arrested after Ministry of Education officials in the county led by Nyamache Sub-County Director Linet Onduso visited the school after receiving the clip.
In the video that has sparked public uproar, the young boys in school uniform are compelled by their teachers to commit an indecent act while lying on top of each other as the teachers laugh out loud in the background.
The clip shows four young boys in pairs trying to imitate how sex is performed.
Nyamache Sub-county police boss Kipkemoi Kipkulei said he was liaising with the County Director of Education on what action they can take after the video sparked concerns from Kenyans on what children were being taught in school.
“We have confiscated their phones. We questioned them and they told us that one pupil had reported them about what they were doing at break time. That they only wanted them to demonstrate to them what they were doing. We will establish from their phones who posted or shared it out. Such an incident is unethical and it damages the name of the school. The pupils are also minors and we wonder what motive did the one who gave it out wanted,” he said.
The six teachers are undergoing questioning at Nyamache Police Station pending arraignment.
