Students from Sasura Girls' High School in Marsabit County locked up the night guards and trekked 15 kilometres to protest the school's management style.
About 200 girls locked up the two guards they found sleeping in a room, broke the main door and marched out at around 2 am yesterday.
They trekked through the wildlife infested Mt Marsabit National Park to seek audience with authorities of Marsabit Central district.
Marsabit Assistant County Commissioner, Bernard Keli said the school was yesterday closed indefinitely, but referred The Standard to the DEO, Naftali Ombati for details. Mr Ombati could not be reached for comment.
