Amixed secondary school in central Kenya has been closed after 15 girls were admitted to hospital following a rape orgy, AFP reports from Nairobi.

Trouble at Njega Mixed Secondary School in central Kenya's Kirinyaga district started on Saturday during a secondary schools' football match in which Baricho secondary school played Kerugoya, with Njega cheering on the winners, Baricho. About 200 Kerugoya boys decided to take revenge later in the night after sending for reinforcements from their school, 13 miles away. They attacked Njega and drove away male students before raping the girls.
