The students had taken to the street to protest\u00a0increased rape and brutal murder cases\u00a0targeting university students.<\/p>\n

Police stormed the peaceful demonstrations and confiscated placards and banners prepared by the students from various universities across the city.<\/p>\n

Owino was advocating that the police should not arrest the protesters but allow them to hold the peaceful demos.<\/p>\n

“Do not arrest them. All they need is a notification, not an approval. The problem is you (the officers) often begin rioting while throwing teargas.<\/p>\n

“This is what you should do. People like the comrades, who have marked their destinations, you should let them march through the routes,” explained Owino.<\/p>\n

The officers claimed that the students had taken to the streets without getting the proper documentation allowing them to march.<\/p>\n

The students, on the other hand, noted that murder and rape cases were on the rise due to poor state of security across public universities across the country.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of May, a first-year student from Masai Mara University was killed while traveling on a motorcycle from the institution to the hostels.<\/p>\n

In March 2021, two students who were\u00a0believed to be a couple were found dead in their rented house in\u00a0Majengo area near Thika Primary School, Thika town.<\/p>\n

The two were students at\u00a0a university in Kiambu County.<\/p>\n

Recently, a student from Masinde Muliro University identified as Mackrine Achieng was found raped and murdered outside her apartment in Kefinco Estate, Kakamega County.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
