A third-year bachelor of arts student has died following Friday’s University of Nairobi students riots.
The student, whose name is still withheld until the next of keen is informed, was shot and died during the battle with police.
Two other students, one of whom was shot in the head, are admitted at the Kenyatta National Hospital- Nairobi.
The college bus driver and four other students were also seriously injured but were treated and discharged at the campus sick bay.
On Friday university students engaged police in day-long running battles in solidarity with nursing students who had gone on strike demanding a 100 per cent increase in internship salaries.
