The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested a headteacher in BuruBuru after a pupil was found dead outside his office.
According to reports, the 13-Year-Old pupil is said to have fallen from a higher floor directly on the directors office where the lifeless body was found dead.
However, upon a closer look by the detectives, they were not satisfied by the explanation by the school management saying that the pupil fell from a higher floor as the injuries on the body were inconsistent.

Following the discovery, the officers also arrested the school director, the accountant and another member of staff, to help aid with investigations to ascertain details that led to the suspected murder within the school premises.
According to a report recorded by the school Director at the police station, the class eight pupil at the boarding institution was discovered missing at 6.30 pm, after she failed to show up for supper.
“The reporter indicated that a search had then been conducted throughout the school’s eight-storey building before stumbling on her lifeless body at a 1st-floor balcony outside the Director’s office.”
The police have since processed the site now assumed to be a scene of crime, and instructed both the staff and the pupils to keep off the area until the investigations are concluded.
