“She heard the girls noise at around 5:00 and they were waking up to freshen up. She opened the gate for the girls to fetch water and after that she met the matron and the matron is the one who narrated the story of what happened at night,” said the official.
Minister of Education Amina Mohamed said Tuesday the security systems failed the students.
“It has been established that various security gaps and lapses existed at the school by the time of the reported defilement incident. To address this the ministry has ordered an overhaul of the entire security system, including the replacement of all security agents,” said Mohamed.
The minister also dissolved the board of management and parent association of the school.
Police have taken the DNA samples of all the male teachers, relatives, and workers of the school to establish who was behind the rape. Results of the tests are expected next week.
Meanwhile, the government has deployed police officers at the school in an effort to assure parents the premises are safe. Students are expected to return this Sunday.
