Laikipia University students blocked the Nyahururu-Nakuru Highway on Saturday, March 21, protesting the death of a fellow student and demanding accountability from the institution.

• The protest was triggered by the death of first-year student Hillary Vumilu, who sustained fatal injuries during a hiking trip on Friday, March 20.
• Laikipia University students accused the administration of negligence, particularly citing alleged delays in emergency response and ambulance services.
• The demonstrations caused significant traffic disruption and confrontations with police, who used teargas and warning shots to disperse the crowd.
