Police in Isebania have arrested 30 pupils for allegedly drinking alcohol and engaging in sex.
According to the Migori County Crime Investigation Department (CID) officer Njeru Nyaga, the 30 pupils including 19 girls and 11 boys are currently in police custody where they are being questioned.
“The students are in custody and we are interrogating them,” Nyaga stated.
Police also apprehended the owner of the club and the disc jockey (Dj) who was entertaining the students. The suspects were taken to Kehancha and Isebania Police Stations.
The residents of the area revealed that such parties were common at the club which sometimes leads to vandalism. They called for action to be taken against its owner.
“We often find used condoms thrown around in the mornings and many are the times when we find our property vandalised too,” Boke Mwita, a resident in the area, explained.
The Organizing Secretary for Youths Against Drugs, Substance Abuse and HIV (YADASAH) Timothy Mbaya, however, blamed parents for not carrying out their responsibilities.
“Parenting has been left for teachers and religious leaders. During holidays most parents don’t have time for their children. We can’t have underage children who leave their homes at night to drink without parents raising an alarm,” Mbaya stated.
