Police in Kisii County have launched a manhunt for teachers from Nyabisia Secondary School in Bobasi over alleged corporal punishment meted on a 19-year-old student for purportedly flaunting examination rules.
The student who is currently admitted at Hema Hospital after one of his testicles was removed by doctors narrated the ordeal he underwent at the hands of his teachers.
He said during the ongoing examinations at their school, students got access to a circulating leaked paper before one of the teachers caught him in the company of other students.
The student painfully narrated how five teachers, including his maths teacher and the school’s security guard, pounced on him with kicks and blows before he was taken to a school’s ‘torture chamber’ where he was tied to a log, both limbs apart to make him unable to resist beatings.
He said he pleaded with his teachers to instead cancel his paper when one of them inflicted a sharp pain below his belt to an extent that he couldn’t walk anymore.
Doctors from Hema Hospital said they had to completely remove one of the testes since it was completely charred ostensibly as a result of severe beatings.
It is alleged that when teachers realised the harm caused, they told the victim not to report the matter to the school head.
Citizen Digital’s efforts to talk to the school head didn’t bear fruit.
Kisii Police Commander Charles Kases has meanwhile vowed to bring the culprits to book.
