A cloud of profound sadness has enveloped Bande Girls Secondary School in Migori County. The cause of this sorrow is the tragic loss of a Form Three student who took her own life on a somber Sunday.
Local authorities have responded swiftly, initiating an inquiry into this heartbreaking incident involving a student from Bande Girls Secondary School in Migori County. This information was confirmed by Winnie Malemba, the local chief.
According to the police report, the 15-year-old girl had attended a church service on the school grounds with her peers on that fateful day. However, she left the service abruptly and was later discovered lifeless within a classroom.
The report further reveals that the young student left behind a poignant note, shedding light on the agonizing reason behind her desperate act: she had been enduring relentless bullying at the hands of one of the school’s prefects.
