A group of students, some in primary school, have been arrested in an orgy of sex and smoking bhang.
The 15 students were arrested in Kabati estate after a tip off from the public. The orgy, which involved two primary school girls, had been going on in a rental house allegedly since Friday.
Among the students arrested were 12 from Naivasha Day Secondary School. The others were from Magereza High, Highway Secondary and Naivasha Central Primary.
Shocked parents and teachers crowded the police station following the arrests in which several condoms and rolls of bhang were found. Police are investigating the matter.
“When we moved in after a tip, some of the students were very drunk and others were high on bhang,” said one of the officers.

“The students who included some girls from primary school were allegedly having sex, drinking alcohol and smoking bhang before police arrested them,” said the teacher.
A parent said the students had said they were going to a nearby church to prepare for a music competition.
“The majority of us are still in shock because our children told us they were going to church only to be informed that they had been arrested,” said the parent.
Naivasha Sub-County Commissioner Isaac Masinde said the incident was under investigation by various offices.
“Officers from the education office and security personnel are handling the matter by speaking to the students and the parents,” he said.
Last term, the commissioner ordered illegal structures near schools demolished, saying they were the main source of drugs.
Mr Masinde further directed that all bars located near learning institutions be closed down, noting that the use of drugs and alcohol had contributed to student unrest in the area.
