The prison warder who shot Ulanda Secondary School student will be interdicted, Nyanza region police coordinator Willy Ligusa said.

Quinter Amondi is currently hospitalized at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital after being shot through the eye at Migori Secondary School by prison warder chasing an escaped inmate from nearby Migori GK prison.

Migori police will interrogate the Ulanda Secondary School girl shot last Friday by a prison warden to help in their investigations, county commander David Kirui has said.
