Parents broke into loud cries after a Limuru court yesterday ordered 11 students from Ngarariga Girls High School locked up at Lang’ata Women’s Prison in Nairobi.
They had been charged with attempting to commit a felony at the school.
The Form 4 students denied the charge before senior principal magistrate Everlyne Olwade.
Their parents were given the option of paying Sh50, 000 cash bail.
The parents pleaded with the magistrate to reduce the bail terms.
The students’ lawyer told the magistrate the girls had suffered in police custody for five days and asked for lenient bail.
The court was told the students were found preparing to commit an offence on the night of July 19 at their school in Limuru constituency.
