The students appeared before the court as investigations into the blaze continue. Prosecutors informed the court that authorities are still gathering evidence and recording statements from witnesses to establish the circumstances that led to the incident. The fire, which broke out in one of the school's dormitories, destroyed personal belongings and damaged part of the institution's infrastructure. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, although several students were affected by the disruption caused by the incident. During the court proceedings, the prosecution sought additional time to complete investigations, citing the complexity of the case. The court granted the request and issued directions on the next mention date.
The incident has sparked widespread concern among parents, education stakeholders, and members of the public, with many calling for enhanced safety measures in learning institutions. School administrators have pledged full cooperation with investigators and assured parents that measures are being put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of students. Authorities have urged the public to remain patient as investigations continue and cautioned against speculation that could interfere with the judicial process. The case is expected to return to court once investigations are completed and a decision is made on whether further charges will be preferred against the students.
