Dagoretti High School closed indefinitely following student unrest, 11 injured in a fight after a basketball match

Dagoretti High School in Nairobi has been closed down indefinitely following last night students rampage that left at least eleven injured and others admitted in various hospitals in Nairobi and Kiambu counties last night.

Hell broke loose last evening following a basketball match that sparked heated emotions and deescalated into a vicious confrontation.

During the incident, the learners vandalized and damaged properties before the administration resolved to send them home.

Officials said the closure was meant to ensure safety of the students at large.

Today morning, more police officers were deployed to the school following the fight between two groups of students at the institution.

The groups used sticks and stones to attack each other in the chaos.

Reports indicate that the students were playing basketball in the school when a dispute erupted between two students, a form one and form four.

This led to fighting between Sudanese students with Kenyan students.

As a result, 11 Sudanese students sustained minor injuries and were rushed to Garden Medical Clinic in stable condition.

Police said more chaos were reported on Sunday night which now turned religious.

More police were deployed to the area to help quell the violence.
