This even as tension remains high in Kenya’s North Rift region, along the Kerio Valley where a series of banditry attacks have been happening for several months.

The video posted on social media shows students frantically seeking to hide under desks, tables and chairs as shots ring out.

Security leaders in the area says that attack was happening more than 1km (0.6miles) away from the school, a local media outlet reports.

Kenya's National Union of Teachers has threatened to tell its members not to set foot in schools until their safety is guaranteed by the state.

The government last week said it would deploy two police officers to each school in the affected area, to help guard the teachers and pupils.

In West Pokot, Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet counties hundreds of families have been displaced by frequent cattle raids and boundary disputes. There are reports that more than 60 people have been killed in five months.

Local leaders say the issue is getting out of hand after at least 10 people were killed last week. Several schools have also been attacked, and several students injured, with just two months to the national examinations.
