In the past three weeks, attacks have been reported in Soit Pus, Lorian and Morijo, with at least four people killed.
Morijo Secondary School headteacher Irene Kamande says it is a challenge to keep students in school amid the violence.
But despite the darkness, Morijo Secondary School recorded impressive results in the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams
Kelvin, a Form Four student at Morijo Secondary School in Samburu North, has been suffering from anxiety for most of this year.
He says incessant banditry attacks have not only made life at school terrible, but have also affected the mental states of his colleagues at the learning institution that is located on the Maralal-Baragoi highway.
