Part Two of Rioting

Another day for rioting by the students of Moi University main campus following the demise of one of their comrades.

Following a riot by students in Moi University that were witnessed yesterday, today the administrators had a hard day to calm down the students. The students rioting started at 9 AM yesterday morning following the dead of one of their comrades a third year in the school of arts. The students were unhappy with  the way the administrators were tackling security and this lead to burning one of the police vehicles that had come to collect the body of their demised comrade.

Today the students gathered at the students centre demanding for an official address from the administrators of the institution. The vice Chancellor, professor Mibey had a hard time calming down the students. Professor Mibey said “I want to acknowledge that the institution under my administration has failed to secure the students who are staying outside the school. It was our mistake of admitting a large number of students more than what our accommodation capacity can hold. ” Speaking like an elderly father addressing his grandsons Mr. Mibey said “investigations have started and those culprits who murdered one of our students will be held accountable for their action. I urge all the students to remain calm as we wait for the forensic investigation. ” the students could not calm down and they had to go ahead with what they had planned, rioting all over the campus.

The chancellor had to call for another meeting with the student’s leaders and students activists lead by Mubaruq Mohammed a third year student in the school of information science. In the meeting the vice chancellor gave the student two options that their leaders had to choose, they either calm down the students or they will go home. The vice chancellor gave them two hours to calm the students before he could make a decision that will impact on the life and future of every student. Closing the institution without any prior notice had implication of delay on the syllabus and consequently long stay in the university.
