The Kisumu Central sub-county police commander, Peter Mulai, confirmed the incident, mentioning that the students were released on cash bail following the intervention of parents and teachers.
Mulai explained that both parents and teachers agreed to let the students complete the remaining exams before investigations into the case commenced.
