Sixty students of St Brigid's Nangwe Girls were on Sunday night injured after lightning struck the school. The students were attending evening studies when the lightning struck following heavy rains in the region. “The unfortunate incident occurred when the students were having evening remedial classes but we rushed in very fast and took charge to ensure they were treated as soon as possible,” she said. She said the facility lacks lightning arrestors and urged the ministry and the county to intervene and have them installed. Last year, several students of Musikoma primary were also injured in a similar incident.
