Property of an unknown value was on Thursday night destroyed after a fire gutted a 130-student capacity dormitory at Ambira High School in Ugunja Sub-county.

According to Ugunja Sub-county Director of Education Guto Obed, students who had gone to the washroom around 8.30pm raised the alarm after they discovered the dormitory was on fire.

None of the students attending the evening prep at the time of the incident were injured. According to Mr Obed, a power surge could have caused the fire.
