The Moi Girls School is once again on the spot after reports emerged on how the school administration attempted to cover up a rape case involving one of its students.

The rape whose suspected perpetrator was arrested Wednesday is said to have occurred in one of the school’s dormitories.

Kilimani Police Station sources told reporters that the man, Marcelas Olale Ogola had been arrested awaiting tests by government chemists.

At the time of the crime, Moi Girls’ school said the girls in the school only wanted the school closed so that they may go and rest at home.

However, the incident took a fresh twist after the suspect was positively identified by the victim who said she was raped while on her way to the toilet in the school.

“He grabbed me, pulled me towards the area and then raped me,” the girl told the DCI detectives. Two other students alleged that they managed to wrestle the man whom they described as medium bodied, medium skin toned and with a malformed eye.

National Assembly committee investigating the case had on October 3 confirmed that the girl was sexually assaulted in the dorm and captured a presentation by Dr Kanyi, a gynaecologist based at the Nairobi Women’s Hospital, who examined the 16-year-old girl.

A committee of Parliament involved in the probe also observed some glaring mistakes that may have facilitated the commission of the crime.
