Two male pupils at a named Secondary School in Chongwe District have been apprehended by police for allegedly spraying a noxious substance in one of the classrooms at the school which affected thirteen other pupils.
The incident occurred on 22 May 2026, between 09:30 hours and 10:00 hours at the school.
Police Spokesperson, Godfrey Chilabi who confirmed the incident in a statement made available to the media stated that the suspects are aged 17 and 18 years.
Mr Chilabi indicated that the two suspects are in police custody to assist with ongoing investigations.
He disclosed that another pupil who is alleged to have supplied them with the chemical is on the run and efforts to apprehend him are underway.
Mr Chilabi said thirteen female pupils were affected by the chemical substance and taken to Chongwe District Hospital for treatment.
He further added that 8 pupils were discharged while five who remain admitted are in a stable condition.
Well, they can’t be two male Chongwe girls.
And The information in the story is so scant you wonder why such reporters receive a salary.
For such half baked products?
They let the female Chongwe boys to go free!
So the chemical only affected females? Is it a girls school? May the law take it course anyway, because if such lawlessness is allowed to continue, will have corrupt leaders in the future.
