Authorities in Mwingi are probing a distressing incident in which unknown attackers set fire to the home of a local teacher, leaving him without shelter.
Silvester Mwendwa, who teaches in the Kitui East sub-county, fortunately escaped injury.
He recounted that while he was at work on Wednesday, he received alarming news that his house had been engulfed in flames.
“I rushed home to assess the damage, but upon arrival, I discovered that my entire house and all my possessions had been destroyed,” Mwendwa expressed.
He has called for justice, lamenting that the perpetrator remains unidentified and free.
Jamleck Mbai, the assistant chief of the Muruana sub-location in Mwingi Central sub-county, stated that their investigation commenced promptly after Mwendwa reported the incident.
“We are actively pursuing significant leads to identify those responsible for this crime,” he added.
