A Nigerian-run missionary school in Thika, Kenya has been closed by education authorities over allegations of sexual abuse, indiscipline and devil worshipping.
However, parents with children in the school have accused the authorities of foul play.
Caritas Mariana Secondary School was shut after Thika Sub-County Director of Education, Ronald Mbogo, reportedly received an anonymous letter with the said allegations against the school.

Mbogo said that they carried out their own investigations and established that five of the allegations against Caritas Mariana Secondary School were true and very serious.
He recommended immediate closure of the school and promised to help allocate the 72 students from the institution, including 10 KCSE candidates to other schools.
The school is run by a Nigerian mission led by Father Bertrand Maria Nwachukwu. The cleric is now being accused of sexual harassment, extreme religious practices and hiring of unregistered teachers.
Parents with wards in the school are accusing Kenyan authorities of foul play, insisting that no student has reported anything against the school.
