The Nyong'ong'a Secondary School principal has denied reports that one of his students committed suicide because she was ridiculed by a teacher.

 The headteacher said the 16-year-old girl sneaked out of school on March 22. "We realised the student was not in school at 4pm when her mother came to look for her," he said.
