Laikipia University Nakuru Town Campus was indefinitely closed on November 23 after students blocked the Nakuru-Nairobi highway to protest the death of a student who was run over by a speeding Matatu at the gate.
The second year student identified as Austin Rotich was hit by a Matatu belonging to the Royal Rift Shuttles and was pronounced dead on arrival at the nearby St Mary’s Mission Hospital in Gilgil where he had been rushed for treatment.
