The fate of the two students expelled from school two weeks ago on suspicion of devil worshipping, is still unknown as they recover at their homes.
Investigations by The Nairobian reveals that the girls surprisingly exhibited strange behaviours at school, but are quite normal in familiar home environment.
The two, who were students at Tulwo Girls’ Secondary in Nandi, raised eyebrows when they went missing after attending one week of term. They had earlier scared fellow students by walking around the dormitory at night, preaching, while wrapped in white covering
They were later found – after two months – at the house of the headmistress, Dinah Keter, who claimed she had been praying for them after they were haunted by spirits of devil worship.
The girls were then put under the care of the school nurse and matron while on bed rest at the dormitory where they were recovering from apparent “physical and mental health deterioration” as they “appeared not to be in their normal state of mind,” as Pastor Sawe of the ACK Tulwo Parish and member of the school board said.
Joshua Tabut, a parent and an area resident said the problem began at the beginning of third term when the two students mysteriously disappeared from the school compound.
They were later found at the headmistress’ house where they were being kept under unclear circumstances.
Francis Kiplagat, the Nandi North District Education Officer said his office received information of the happenings in a memorandum on November 6 and “necessary disciplinary actions will be taken after proper investigations.”
Paul Rotich, the secretary general of Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) demanded an explanation as to why the girls were kept in the headmistress’ house adding that teachers at Tulwo Girls’ wrote a memorandum to the Nandi Teacher’s Service Commission director and a copy of it to the Kuppet office two months ago. Rotich said some of the problems included 14 counts of intimidation and victimisation by the school’s head.
“I do not want to speculate what may have happened to the girls but I hope that they will be helped by the doctors,” Rotich said.
