Residents of Kutus in Kirinyaga County and students of Kirinyaga University spent the night at River Thiba Falls searching for a first-year student who drowned while swimming on Sunday.
Police officers from Kutus Police Station, local administrators and their assistants also joined the search, remaining at the river until about 7pm yesterday as news of the incident spread across the town.
Local divers led by Maulid Asman said efforts to retrieve the student had been hampered by the depth of the falls, strong water currents and submerged tree roots.
