Police officer missing after students attack examination monitoring team in Kisii

A police officer has gone missing following an attack by students at Nyabisase Mixed Secondary School in Kisii County, Kenya. The incident occurred on Thursday when a multi-agency team, including officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Kenya National Examinations Council and National Intelligence Service, visited the school to monitor examinations.

The team had been alerted by a KNEC official who reported suspected examination irregularities. Upon arrival, the officers found a hidden laptop and contacted DCI officers for backup. However, before authorities arrived, students became violent and attacked the multi-agency team. Corporal Leonard Siele, a police officer on the team, was reportedly seriously injured and has since disappeared, prompting an investigation into his whereabouts.

The other team members involved are IP Peterson Amimo, PC Edward Onyango, and NIS officer Boniface Muli. DCI Nyamache officers have since visited the school to launch an investigation into the examination malpractice allegations, the assault on the officers, the damage to property and the disappearance of Corporal Siele.
