Police Breaking Up RiotsPolice Commissioner Maj Gen Hussein Ali has ordered the arrest of three police officers who shot dead a University of Nairobi student last night.
The student was killed was when police used live ammunition against students who were protesting the gunning down of Oscar Foundation's executive director Oscar King'ara near the university's Halls of Residence. Mr King'ara was in the company of a colleague said to be a former University of Nairobi Students' Union leader, who was also killed by unknown gunmen.
The varsity student's killing occurred as the police tried to retrieve the bodies of the murder victims. According to Police Spokesman Mr Eric Kiraithe, some students removed the body of one victim from the scene and took it the Halls of Residence and a confrontation ensued between the students and the officers.
In a statement, Mr Kiraithe, however, said the use of "lethal force" was "unprofessional and uncalled for". He said the concerned officers would be investigated and the results made public.
He added that the firearms used have been taken to the Criminal Investigations Department headquarters for analysis. Thanks To The Nation
