Kenya: Wanafunzi 6 wapigwa risasi wakati wa maandamano Chuo cha Laikipia, mmoja wao amefariki

[Traxtion]

Familia sita kutoka kaunti za Nakuru na Laikipia zinapaza sauti kutaka haki itendeke kufuatia makabiliano makali ya Jumatatu yaliyosababisha kifo cha mwanafunzi mmoja na kuwaacha wengine watano na majeraha ya risasi. Ian Mtai, mwanafunzi wa mwaka wa kwanza katika Chuo Kikuu cha Laikipia mwenye umri wa miaka 19, alipigwa risasi na kufariki dunia wakati polisi walipotumia nguvu na risasi hai kutawanya waandamanaji. Kwenye purukushani hizo, maafisa wa polisi kumi na sita pia walijeruhiwa.

Ghasia hizi zililipuka na kulemaza shughuli kando ya barabara ya Nyahururu kuelekea Nakuru baada ya wanafunzi kuandamana kupinga kile walichokitaja kama uzembe wa wasimamizi wa chuo. Wanafunzi hao walighadhabishwa na kisa cha Ijumaa iliyopita ambapo mwanafunzi mwenzao aliteleza na kuumia vibaya alipokuwa kwenye ziara ya kitalii katika maporomoko ya maji ya Subukia. Licha ya juhudi za wanafunzi kutafuta msaada, uongozi wa chuo ulidaiwa kushindwa kutoa huduma za dharura za matibabu kwa wakati.

Kufuatia mkasa huo wa kusikitisha, wazazi na ndugu za waathiriwa sasa wanataka uchunguzi wa kina ufanyike dhidi ya maafisa waliohusika na ufyatuaji wa risasi. Wanasisitiza kuwa matumizi ya nguvu kupita kiasi dhidi ya wanafunzi hayakubaliki, huku wakitaka usimamizi wa chuo uwajibishwe kwa utepetevu wao uliochangia kuzuka kwa maandamano hayo ya maa

Six families in Nakuru and Laikipia Counties are demanding justice after a deadly confrontation between police and Laikipia University students on Monday left one student dead and five others sustaining gunshot wounds.

Ian Mtai was shot dead during demonstrations against the university administration. The students were protesting the alleged failure of the administration to promptly respond to a case where a student slipped and fell during a hiking expedition at the Subukia Falls last Friday. Sixteen police officers were injured during the deadly protests.

Business along the Nyahururu–Nakuru road was disrupted for hours on March 23, 2026 as students from Laikipia University engaged police in running battles, protesting what they claimed was negligence from the administration.

The unrest followed an incident last Friday where a student was injured during a hiking trip at Subukia Falls and efforts to get urgent medical assistance from the university were futile.

Students stated that police officers deployed to quell the chaos used excessive force as they fired live bullets. In the deadly confrontation, 19-year-old Ian Mtai, a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Science, was shot dead. Five other students sustained gunshot wounds.

Ila sio sawa, huyo aliyeua alipaswa na yeye auawe. Kwa nini mpige risasi direct kwa wanafunzi
Hata kuwajibishwa kwa huyo polisi sina matumaini kama watamwajibisha ipasavyo

Auawe tu mi sina shida na mapolisi, nilichozungumzia ni kwenye mfumo wao wa uwajibishaji ni tofauti na huku

Chanzo cha Maandamano:

Wakati wa likizo wanafunzi walienda kufanya hiking kwenye waterfalls. Mwanafunzi mwenzao anayeitwa Hillary alianguka vibaya akaangulia jiwe, na kutoka damu nyingi sana. (Kwenye hii video ilunaweza kuona maji ya waterfalls yalibadilika kuwe mekundu- damu)

Hillary alivuja damu nyingi kwa sababu ambulance ilichelewa kufika basi akafariki

Kwa hiyo wanafunzi wanadai ni uzembe wa mamlaka kuchelewa kuokoa maisha ya rafiki yao ndio wakaanza kuandamana
