“The 12 students who had panicked have been checked and found that they are safe and they are back at the school.
“This was confirmed by a multi-agency meeting that was chaired by Education Principal Secretary (Belio Kipsang) at the school,” the agency’s Deputy Director and Communication Officer Pius Masai said in a statement Sunday.
