Livid JKUAT students took to the streets on Wednesday night over the death of a student at the institution.
The students were livid over what they claim is negligence by the university hospital's medical staff that resulted in the death of their comrade earlier in the day.
The rioting students blocked Thika Road in Juja, leading to heavy traffic and passers-by scampering for safety as the irate and seemingly drunk students went on the rampage.
A student who spoke on condition of anonymity said,
“The student was left lying helpless on the hospital bed without being attended to thus leading to his demise,”
Police from the Juja Police Station had a hard time containing the rowdy students, who engaged them in running battles.
They used tear gas and shot in the air to disperse the students.
The university’s administration could not be reached for comment.
