The students were said to have been assaulted at around 2 a.m in the area between the washrooms and their dormitories.
They were taken to Nairobi Women’s Hospital for tests and later referred to Kenyatta National Hospital for further tests.
One of the girls said the attacker was brown in complexion. The school administration is said to have downplayed the incident, which they got wind of at around 5 a.m, claims the girls have refuted.
“The teachers are ridiculing us instead of coming to our help…. We better be allowed to go home where our security is assured,” one student shouted.
