Tension and chaos erupted at Nyeri High School after a section of students engaged in a fierce fight on Sunday night.

Some Form 4 students engaged in a battle with their Form 3 counterparts for the better part of the night.

The incident led to some of them spending the night in the cold outside the institution's compound, while others resolved to go home.

"The war broke out between Form 4 and Form 3 students and some Form 2 students intervened to assist Form 3 in the war," one of the students told the media.

Efforts to get comments from the management of the school's administration were futile because their phone calls went unanswered.

The incident happened the same night madness was witnessed at Dagoretti High School in Nairobi County where some students engaged in fist fight. Scores were injured in the melee.
