18 school girls, all teenagers, and a five-year-old girl perished in a fire which ripped through the female dorm at the Mahdia Secondary School in Region 8 at around midnight Sunday and continued into Monday morning. The devastating fire which ripped through the female dormitory at the Mahdia Secondary School was maliciously set by a student of the school, well-placed sources have told the News Room. The student, the News Room was reliably told, was upset after her phone was taken away over objections by the school authorities that she was engaging in matters dangerous to her well-being with an adult. She had pledged to give “trouble” over the actions taken against her. The student was seen by other students spraying a substance in the air and then igniting a fire. The fire was set to some mattresses just outside the bathroom area of the dormitory. At the time of the fire (56) students were reportedly in the dorm measuring 100 x 40 ft, a wooden and concrete flat structure with (5) doors and grilled windows. When the dorm mother was alerted to the fire, she rushed to open the doors to get the children out, but her five-year-old son was left behind and perished in the fire. …..In this video, we share with you the identities of those who died in the fire.
