A tragic incident unfolded at Bungoma National Polytechnic, resulting in the death of a student during clashes with police.
This confrontation was sparked by the earlier demise of another student, which led to heightened tensions on campus as students demanded answers and accountability regarding the circumstances surrounding their peer’s death.
The deceased student reportedly passed away under unclear circumstances, prompting outrage among fellow students who felt that justice had not been served.
In response to the growing unrest, students organized protests to voice their frustrations and seek clarification from the institution’s administration. However, the situation escalated when police were deployed to manage the protests, leading to violent clashes between law enforcement and students.
Witnesses reported that the police used tear gas and other crowd control measures to disperse the protesters. Unfortunately, the situation quickly turned chaotic, resulting in the tragic death of one student. The exact details of how this occurred are still being investigated, but the incident has raised significant concerns regarding the methods employed by police in managing student protests and the overall safety of students on campus.
The deaths have sparked widespread outrage, not only among the students of Bungoma National Polytechnic but also within the broader community. Many are calling for a thorough investigation into both the initial death of the student and the police response to the protests.
