Ten students from two Nairobi schools on Tuesday faced charges of conspiring to commit arson.
Three are from
Huruma girls' and seven from Aquinas boys' high schools.
The court heard that the female students were found with a note inviting their counterparts at Ofafa Jericho Secondary School to follow suit.
They denied the charges before Makandara Chief Magistrate Stephen Githinji
and were freed on
Sh10,000 cash bail each.
The Aquinas' students were released on a free bond ahead of plea-taking on Wednesday.
Eighteen students from the two schools were earlier arrested for questioning over plans to strike and torch facilities.
Police said security was beefed up at the institutions amid interrogation of suspects.
Incidents of unrest have been on the rise and have left many learning facilities damaged and schools closed.
Police have arrested and charged dozens of students in the last month, following a warning by their bosses and the Education ministry that the learners will treated as criminals.
