Sex accused pupils sue head over expulsion

Four pupils, two boys and two girls, who were expelled from Nyahuni Adventist High School for allegedly engaging in sexual activities, are challenging the headmaster's decision at the High Court.

The quartet that is sitting for Advanced Level final examinations, argued that the expulsion was driven by malice on the part of the headmaster who took the hard stance without any proof that they became intimate.

It was the school's allegation that the two brothers who stayed with the matron, a relative, spent a night in the house with the girls that had sneaked out of the boarding school's hostels.

The headmaster Sheckleton Makamba assumed that the four could have indulged in sexual activities before expelling them.

Another, a cousin to the boys, was not spared because she was in the same house where the offence could have been committed despite the fact that she officially stayed at the house.
