Busia: A student from Butula Boys High School has had a rough time only days after returning to school as he was made to crush a phone after sneaking it to school.
In a video shared by Ndung'u Nyoro, the young boy is seen with a hammer squatting near his phone. He first looks at it, not believing what is about to happen to it, before starting to smash it.
Teachers off-camera urged him on, and they gave reasons for not giving any other time punishment after he flouted the school rules.

"Crush that phone; I want to see powder. We have no time to send you some to get the parents; we deal with you right here. Hit it even if it belongs to your dad," said one of the teachers.
Mueni Kisong'e:
"I think is a good punishment. Why bother a parent coming all the way to collect it?"
GA Cucu NA Nyoks:
"Oooh noo, but it's good, next time he will follow the rules."
Kopiron Kipchirchir:
"Why wouldn't the just confiscate the phone and punish the boy in another form."
Dannick Mokua:
"I approve this. Keep it for them, they will be okay risking it; crash it, they won't risk coming with it. Way to go."
Entito Ole Mohu:
"Rules are there to be adhered to...not a good feeling though I support this, lesson learnt the hard way."
KaGo Wa Nduta:
"With a smart phone 📱?With all the dirty video apps, I second the punishment."
Leila Nyambura:
"It is the best. For both him and the buyer. Rules are rules."
In another story, social media users reacted to a video of a vice chancellor punishing a student during a church service.
While the congregation, which included students, watched, the VC brought the lady forward and made her kneel and raise her hands.
Some internet users frowned at the vice chancellor's action, describing it as shameful, while others wanted to know her offence.
