Some University of Nairobi (UoN) students on Tuesday, October 27, resumed demonstrations over the ongoing lecturers’ strike, barricading sections of Waiyaki Way and disrupting traffic.
The students lit bonfires and placed stones on the highway, forcing motorists to turn back or seek alternative routes as traffic came to a standstill.
Police officers moved in to disperse the protesters, firing tear gas that sent students scattering in different directions as tensions escalated along the busy highway.
