VIDEO: GSU Violently Beat Nairobi University Students in Parade

University of Nairobi students were on Monday reportedly paraded on the streets of the Campus by officers of the General Service Unit (GSU) and clobbered repeatedly, following the demonstrations that caused chaos in the Capital.

In a video capturing the scene, a multitude of the learners were forced to lie down on along an alley in a straight line, as the GSU officers went back and forth hitting them with rods.

The helpless students could only wail as the officers, whom they had engaged in running battles since Saturday, heavily descended upon them.

Unconfirmed reports revealed that some of those who were beaten up by the officers were forcefully flagged from classes and hostels as they were studying for the upcoming examinations.

The students were protesting against the re-election of Paul Ongili, commonly known as Babu Owino, as the chairman of Students Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU).

The angry scholars indicated that Babu rigged the elections with a section captured on tape stating that they were tired of being led by him.

On Monday, the enraged students also razed down SONU offices located along University Way.

Following the announcement of Babu's victory, the rioting learners blocked the University Way, Uhuru Highway, State House and Harry Thuku roads, causing a huge traffic snarl up in the Capital.

The SONU Chairman has since called for peace at the Campus urging his opponents to accept the results and move on. He insists that he fairly won the contentious polls which according to him he garnered over 18,000 votes against his rivals Suraj Mohamed and Mike Jacobs who got about 3000 and 2000 votes respectively.

However, Nairobi County Police Commander Japhet Koome said that the clip was uploaded by bloggers to discredit the police.

They further highlighted in a statement that:“There is absolutely no conflict between the police and the students. So far, no victim has reported to the police to claim he or she was assaulted”.
