In a startling turn of events at Kioyet Secondary School, a 19-year-old Form Four student was discovered to have given birth in the school toilets on Monday, 24th March. The incident came to light when the teacher on duty was informed by students that the young woman was experiencing excessive bleeding after using the facilities.
Upon investigating, the teacher noticed blood stains leading to the toilet and discovered that the student had delivered a baby, who was still alive inside the facility. Acting swiftly, the teacher mobilized school staff and members of the local community to assist in retrieving the newborn. Both the mother and the infant were rushed to Sigor Sub-County Hospital for immediate medical attention. They were later referred to Longisa County Hospital for further care.
Authorities, led by Bomet County Police Commander Edward Imbwaga, visited the scene to process evidence. The case remains under investigation as officials work to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident.
This event has sparked discussions about the need for enhanced support systems for students facing personal challenges, as well as the importance of timely intervention in emergencies.
