5 Maasai Mara students arrested during protest over fatal boda boda accident
Anti-riot police officers patrol the street leading to Maasai Mara university in Narok County on May 25, 2021, during protests against the recklessness of boda boda riders.
Among those apprehended by anti-riot police officers was student organisation president Humphrey Omollo and Secretary-General Denis Wanjala Matongolo.
Five Maasai Mara University students were arrested on Tuesday while participating in protests at the institution’s main campus along Narok-Bomet road.
The students blocked the busy road in a demonstration against the recklessness of boda boda riders, which they said led to an accident on the same route on Monday night, an incident in which a first year student was killed.
